Smiles and Tears Written by Heavily Armored Hamster I've lived eight lives... I've grown to understand Life is always alternating Between smiles and tears I've mastered the art Of crying out my soul Letting out the tears Without making a sound I've mastered the art Of smiling out my soul Grinning ear to ear Without using a muscle I've lived eight lives... I've grown to understand That when things look grim That Good times will come again I've lived eight lives... I've grown to understand That at times of happiness It's sure to end soon enough I've lived eight lives... I've mastered the art Of riding the waves of life Of dancing with Smiles and Tears
