You know a smile never goes out of style
So brighten up the one that you wear
Let it shine and you just might find
You'll lighten up the load that you bear

You know with all the trouble and sorrow in the world

It seems like the least we can do
Just take that smile into the street
And share it with everybody you meet

Everyday (everyday) I want to shake somebody's hand
Everyday (everyday) I want make somebody know
(That thinks they can) that they can (yes they can)
Everyday (everyday) I want to try (I want to try)
To show my brothers and my sisters
That I want to help them along the way everyday, everyday

You know a kind work never goes unheard
But too often goes unsaid
And on the tongue of the old and the young
It's swallowed up with pride instead

You know with all the trouble and sorrow in the world
It seems like the least we can do
Just take a kind word into the street
And share it with everybody you meet
Everyday (everyday) I want to shake somebody's hand, yer
Everyday (everyday) I want make somebody know
(That thinks they can) that they can (yes they can)
Everyday (everyday) I want to try (I want to try)
To show my brothers and my sisters
That I want to help them along the way everyday, everyday

If they're lost I want to show them the sunshine
If they look tossed I want to throw them a lifeline
I want the reach out my hand, (reach out) yer (a hand to hold)
Oh yeah, and let 'em know (let 'em know)
There's a light (that there's light) down at the end of the road

If they're lost I want to (show them the sunshine)
If they're tossed I want to (throw them a lifeline)

Well everyday (everyday) I want to shake somebody's hand, mmm
Everyday (everyday) I want make somebody know
(That thinks they can) that they can (yes they can)
Everyday (everyday) I want to try (I want to try)
To show my brothers and my sisters
That I want to help them along the way everyday, everyday

Everyday, everyday (everyday) I want to shake somebody's hand, yer
Everyday (everyday) I want make somebody know
(That thinks they can) that they can (yes they can)
And everyday (everyday)...
