Hey beautiful lady,
Why do you look sad?
Where's your smile lost?
The world ain't so bad.

The world is the worst actually!
There's nothing worthwhile.
I have lost all the hope
And even my precious smile.

The smile isn't lost.
You've just misplaced it.
I'm sure you'll find it.
Just think and have a seat.

Thinking makes matter worse
For I just don't think straight.
I just want struggle to end
And for that, I can't wait.

Struggles are here to stay.
It's not really your choice.
What you need to do is follow your heart
And listen to your inner voice.

What if I don't hear them?
What if I feel completely lost?
What shall I do then, friend?
How shall I reach the coast?

Just climb aboard my boat of friendship.
I'll steer it to a coast.
Under the stars and moon and clouds,
We'll have some tea and toast.

Are you sure you'd stay there?
Everyone just seems to leave.
Instead of the stars and moons,
What if the storms are weaved?

Let the storms come and go.
I'll stand there with an umbrella.
I'll be your Romeo, dear
And you be my darling Cinderella.

You surely are a great friend
For you just made me smile.
Oh yes, I've found my lost treasure
And a friend to travel miles.
