[Verse 1:]
It's about friends
It's about school
It's about changes
The ones you never thought they'd put you through
It's times like these that I got a touch of Irish in me, yeah
And we can talk honesty, but honestly
I'm OK this way, ya

[Chorus:]
Hey, you just don't understand
Sometimes my sky's a little gray
And I know eventually I'll be feeling alright again, yeah
Life's been a friend to me
You don't need to convince me
It's a beautiful world, I know
It's a beautiful world

[Verse 2:]
It's about faith
It's about heart
It's about progress
The things that try to tell the world apart
My mind has to speak
'Cause I feel what that I feel much too deep
And if it motivates me to do something good
And I'm OK, this way, yeah

[Chorus:]
Hey, you just don't understand
Sometimes my sky's a little gray
And I know eventually I'll be feeling alright again, ya
Life's been a friend to me
You don't need to convince me
It's a beautiful world, I know
It's a beautiful world

[Bridge:]
Sunshine beating down on my life
Maybe that's a long time away
But I guess I'll take it day by day
You ask when I'll get my smile back
