Is it a crime?

Is it a crime to be happy,

is it a crime to show a smile?

Is it a crime to be angry,

is it a crime to cry?


But you've gotta remember

that it's not a crime;

to laugh, to cry, to live

is it a crime to embrace

what I'm feeling?


Is it a crime to help

someone you don't know?

Is it a crime to believe in people?

Is it a crime to give

them a second chance?


I think that people believe that it is,

cause most people nowadays

don't even allow themselves to feel.


To laugh, to cry, to smile,

they believe that it would be a crime.

Have you ever seen a teen walking down

the street with a smile to beat the hate?


Have you ever seen a person

showing their emotions in a public place?

Is it a crime to act like a human being;

to show that you have a heart.


Is it a crime to think that there could

be more to life than merely living.

Is it a crime to think that we were

sent here for a reason?


I know that sometimes it's better

to hide what you're feeling.

But it's mostly better

to let somebody in.


To let somebody, know your feelings,

to know your mistakes,

to let somebody help you.


I know that it's hard to let somebody in,

I know that it's hard to find the right person.

But you can't give up until you do.


And you can't say that's impossible,

before you even try.
