Pillar Album: For the Love of the Game Track: Smiling Down Smiling Down Lyrics You make it so hard on yourself There's nobody else That could ever understand The feelings that you felt I can hear you think about All the time I was around If you could only see me now I'm right here looking down So next time that you feel like crying Next time you don't feel like trying Just remember I'll be right there Smiling down on you In the morning you don't feel like rising Next time you feel like compromising Just remember I'll be right there Smiling down on you I know you won't forget All the time we got to spend Just because it's been awhile Doesn't mean that it's the end So right here and now I swear to you a vow That I will always be with you Whenever you feel down Nothing will ever come between us Now I'm holding on to the hand of Jesus I'll be right there looking down Even when the sun don't shine I'll be right there looking down On those long winter nights I'll be right there looking down With a smile on my face I'll be right there With my arms open wide Right here at Jesus' side All songs written by Pillar © 2008 River Oaks Music Company / Flicker USA Publishing / Fireproof Music (BMI).

Song Description: This heart-rending ballad finds a loved one in heaven singing words of encouragement and inspiration to family members left behind and still struggling with loss. "So next time you feel like crying," the Chorus says, "So next time you don't feel like trying/Just remember I'll be right here/Smiling down on you/ ... Nothing ever will come between us/Now I'm holding onto the hand of Jesus." The song was inspired by two families (the Abercrombies and the Clearys) both dealing with the tragic loss of children by clinging to God in faith. Rob says of one of these families, "They just worship God. They know that their son is with Jesus right now, and they know without a doubt that God is real. And that's what they want other people to know. They want people to know that their son is with Jesus and that Jesus is alive. And when you're around them, you just get pumped up by the infectious faith they have. This song was written from the perspective of their kids telling mom and dad, 'You know, it's OK. You don't have to worry.'"
