Lyric

Tears are teaching me where the smiles belong

Like finding flowers I have never seen before—

That feeling blooming deep inside my soul

Days more precious than diamonds ever could be

Yet this ordinary life still doesn’t let me

Let my pride shine freely in my chest

Wave after wave, the words return — “Once again,”

When that someday finally comes to me

I want to cry with a smiling face

I want to say thank you and goodbye

With everything inside my heart

The shape turns out so different than I dreamed

Erasing what I once believed I needed most

More eternal than the brightest star above

Lead beats heavy, shining like a pulse of steel

Shooting straight and true without a second glance

A falling star that takes my breath away

Wave after wave, the words return — “Once again,”

Your hands always gave me strength to stand

I’ll send a smile on this precious day

No word like thank you is enough—

My heart is crying in this precious time

When that someday finally comes to me

I want to cry with a smiling face

I want to say thank you and goodbye

With everything inside my heart
