Story Behind The Song
Princess WOW! aka Mindy Fradkin-Mousaa is the founder of the movement which started in 2005. She had a radio show to promote the movement and on the way to the show one day, in a coffee shop, a little boy walked around the room, smiled and waved at everyone. All smiled. Someone shouted out, "He's an Ambassador!". It was an amazing moment. I went to the show and talked about it on the air, and Neale Donald Walsch, internationally known author, was blown away by the story and the movement. Part of that story is in the song. I found an anonymous smile poem in an elementary school, and my husband used part of the poem and the story and we wrote this song.

Lyrics
I walked into a cafe, and smiled at my friends,
They all smiled- and I realized..I passed it on to them.
The people who saw us, smiled at my friends, they all smiled- and we realized we passed it on to them.
Yes, a simple smile will do..round the world and back to you, Its called The Smile Revolution, that comes, goes, round and back to you.
Chorus
Smile, smile, smile,
A simple smile will do,
smile, smile, snile,
It comes back to you!
The national news saw us, smiling at our friends,
They all smiles- and we realized..we passed it on to them.
Yes, a simple smile will do, round the world and back to you,
Its called The Smile Revolution, that comes, goes, round and back to you.
So, Smile, Smile, Smile,
So,don't forget to smile!
