Smile Au-thentically (autistic community version)
They said be yourself it's ok you will be fine
Take my hand and place your footprints just in mine,
Hide in your head as life and love will pass you by
But now I beg to see my smile just one more time
Ooh I see me, see me, see me every time
And oh my I, I, I loved my smile
Life makes me, makes me, makes me wanna cry
And now I beg to see my smile just one more time
So they say
Smile for me, smile for me, smile for me, oh, oh, oh
Take my mask off be the me I was before
They say move from me, move from me, move from me, ay, ay, ay
And all you've learned they make you do it all again
I thought I see all you people connecting walking by
Please don't take my hand, my dear, or look me in my eye
‘Cause I feel like I've been hiding my whole life
But I beg to see my smile just one more time
Ooh I see me, see me, see me every time
And oh my I, I, I loved my smile
Life, makes me, makes me, makes me wanna cry
And now I beg to see my smile just one more time
So they say
Smile for me, smile for me, smile for me, oh, oh, oh
Take my mask off be the me I was before
They say move from me, move from me, move from me, ay, ay, ay
And all you've learned they make you do it all again
They say
Smile for me, smile for me, smile for me, oh, oh, oh
Take my mask off be the me I was before
They say move from me, move from me, move from me, ay, ay, ay
And all you've learned they make you do it all again
Ooh
Woah-oh, woah-oh, oh
Ooh
Ah ah, ah
They say
Smile for me, smile for me, smile for me, oh, oh, oh
Take my mask off be the me I was before
They say move from me, move from me, move from me, ay, ay, ay
And all you've learned they make you do it all again
They say
Smile for me, smile for me, smile for me, oh, oh, oh
Take my mask off be the me I was before
They say move from me, move from me, move from me, ay, ay, ay
And all you've learned they make you do it all again
All again
