(bill luther, aimee mayo, chris lindsey, marv green)

The cover of a magazine, nothing but a paper dream
Just another fantasy for sale
Telling me what i need, what i should do, who i should be
That stuff don't matter to me at all

The sky is blue and the sun is shining
I feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds
I'm free as a bird and my spirit's flying
That's enough to keep me smiling

Guru man on my tv set, selling the secrets to happiness
1-800-change-your-life-today
Dreams, i've got my own; i ain't looking for a yellow-brick-road
I'm just gonna go my own way

The sky is blue and the sun is shining
I feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds
I'm free as a bird and my spirit's flying
That's enough to keep me smiling

Smiling (smiling), smiling (smiling)

The sky is blue and the sun is shining
I feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds
I'm free as a bird and my spirit's flying
That's enough to keep me smiling

I'm still smiling, gotta keep on smiling
I'm still smiling
