Smile Bomb English Lyrics:
Running in a crowd, in a faceless town
I need to feel the touch of a friend
In the countryside, I wander far and wide
The isolation gets me again
I don't know where to go
When I feel like crying, oh my
It's time to challenge myself, do something new
I want to stop and grow up a bit
Then suddenly, my power and confidence start swelling up
Magically erupt
And it's all because of the kindness that I feel
From people I don't even know
Then suddenly, my intuition and my wisdom grow
And then I know
That most of all I sense compassion's real
Thanks to strangers wherever I go
Thank you for waking me up!
