Modern Times:
a Smile doesn’t bring you any Fortune
a Smile doesn’t cost you any Money
a Smile brings you just another Smile
A Global Synergy of One Single Moment
can reach the State of Infinity
It doesn’t matter who you give it to,
a stranger or a friend
Just give your Smile away
and receive one in return
at 8pm August 8, 2008
Forward this request to anyone you know,
father and mother, brothers and sisters,
friends and enemies…
The final outcome will be greater than the sum of each individual participation:
a Global Synergy of Smiling at 888
Smile though your heart is aching;
Smile even though it’s breaking.
When there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get by.
If you smile through your fear and sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow,
You’ll see the sun come shining through for you.
Light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever so near,
That’s the time you must keep on trying,
Smile, what’s the use of crying?
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile,
If you just smile
Instrumental Interlude
That’s the time you must keep on trying,
Smile, what’s the use of crying?
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
Lyrics by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons
Music written by Charlie Chaplin for his 1936 silent movie classic, Modern Times
