I wake up to the sound of these children I go to bed at the light of the streets But hey, what do you expect? It's the life of Sam J. Smith! I go to work watching kids get beat up I go to stores seeing shoplifters But hey, what do you expect? It's a hard life for Sam J. Smith! (repeat both verses) He never gives up He never is down He just watches And thinks of his glass half full! (repeat) (repeat verse 1) He never gives up He never is down He just watched And thinks of his glass half full (repeat) Noone said it would ever be easy Noone said life would ever be fair Just try to survive in this world And you might just make it Just be like Sam J. Smith
