YOUR RIGHT AGAIN GAVIN BUT YOUR WRONG ABOUT AMERICAN BLACK SLAVES WERE GIVEN THEIR OWN STATE IT’S CALLED … WAIT FOR IT… LIBERIA . AFTER THE U.S. CIVIL WARS SLAVES WERE GIVEN THE CHIOCE TO RETURN TO AFRICA TO SET UP THEIR OWN NATION CALED LIBERIA .

MICHEAL JACKSON’S FAVOURITE SONG WAS WRITEN BY A WHITE MAN … CHARLIE CHAPLIN WORDS BY JOHN TURNER AND GEOFFERY PASONS .

In the final scene of Modern Times, Charlie and the gamine set off down the road to a new life.

Smile



Music by Charles Chaplin, Lyrics by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons



Smile, though your heart is aching

Smile, even though it’s breaking

When there are clouds in the sky

you’ll get by

If you smile through your fear and sorrow

Smile and maybe tomorrow

You’ll see the sun come shining through

for you



Light up your face with gladness

Hide every trace of sadness

Although a tear may be ever so near

That’s the time you must keep on trying

Smile what’s the use of crying

You’ll find that life is still worthwhile

If you’ll just

Smile
