On Your Face
Earth Wind And Fire · Spirit [1976]
Ain't it funny that the way you feel,
shows on your face-
and no matter,how you try to hide it'll state your case-
Now a frown will bring your Sprits down to the ground
And never let you see, the Good things all around-
Everytime we seem to let
Our feelings show, our luck-
run out and the wind Won't blow-
But, that can't make me
That can't make me sad
Cause, I've been there Before
Don't wanna go no more-
Sadness bears no remedy, for the problems in your life
Won't disappear- This world can't shake me
Bad times can't make me sad
Ole world can't take me
Won't let it drive me mad
While you run your race
keep a smilin' face-
Help you set your pace
Life is on your case
Wish upon a sunnyday, it'll turn to rain-
Use the sunshine in your heart, to ease the pain-
We wonder, how your attitude is going down-
Is it wakin' and shakin' and safe and sound-
Everytime we seem, let our feelings flo-
Our luck runs out.
And the wind won't blow.
You can't shake me, the way I feel today.
Come tomorrow I'll feel the same way
Wake me! My heart us feeling Glad-
I'll take you with me When you're feelin' bad-
shows on your face-
and no matter,how you try to hide it'll state your case-
Now a frown will bring your Sprits down to the ground
And never let you see, the Good things all around-
Everytime we seem to let
Our feelings show, our luck-
run out and the wind Won't blow-
But, that can't make me
That can't make me sad
Cause, I've been there Before
Don't wanna go no more-
Sadness bears no remedy, for the problems in your life
Won't disappear- This world can't shake me
Bad times can't make me sad
Ole world can't take me
Won't let it drive me mad
While you run your race
keep a smilin' face-
Help you set your pace
Life is on your case
Wish upon a sunnyday, it'll turn to rain-
Use the sunshine in your heart, to ease the pain-
We wonder, how your attitude is going down-
Is it wakin' and shakin' and safe and sound-
Everytime we seem, let our feelings flo-
Our luck runs out.
And the wind won't blow.
You can't shake me, the way I feel today.
Come tomorrow I'll feel the same way
Wake me! My heart us feeling Glad-
I'll take you with me When you're feelin' bad-
