One Thousand Million Smiles

There's a gift I'd like to give you

That can't be bought or sold

A ray of sunshine across the waters

That comes straight from the soul

Let us join our hands together

To bind the colours of our skin

A rainbow under God's great heaven

A sign that love will always win

One thousand million smiles

I bring to you across the miles

In my land of sunshine

Or in your land of snow

Makes no difference where you are

If you let your feelings show

One thousand million ways

To love each other every day

For the poet and the old man

For the mother and the child

These one thousand million smiles

If the world is full of sorrow

Full of hunger, full of strife

If war's the master of the house

Then what's the meaning of life

But a shining bridge of lovin' smiles

And tender helping hands

Will bind all men on earth together

And will forever stand

One thousand million smiles

I bring to you across the miles

In my land of sunshine

Or in your land of snow

Makes no difference where you are

If you let your feelings show

One thousand million ways

To love each other every day

For the poet and the old man

For the mother and the child

These one thousand million smiles

So here I stand with heart in hand

I bring this gift from my homeland

So take these smiles and sweet hello

Keep them in your heart

Wherever you may go

One thousand million smiles

I bring to you across the miles

In my land of sunshine

Or in your land of snow

Makes no difference where you are

If you let your feelings show

One thousand million ways

To love each other every day

For the poet and the old man

For the mother and the child

These one thousand million smiles
