Simcha Makes Me Smile - DJ Yehuda | Camp Simcha

A Camp Simcha campers' life story told through an emotional and powerful song. Composed and performed in Camp Simcha Special, Summer 2018. Each summer, 500 seriously ill children are treated to unforgettable, medically supervised overnight camp experiences at Camp Simcha, for children battling cancer and other hematological illnesses, and Camp Simcha Special, for children with debilitating chronic conditions. At Camp Simcha and Camp Simcha Special, children and teens trade hospital rooms and doctors' offices for fun, friendship, and hope for the future. Campers enjoy traditional camp activities in fully handicapped-accessible facilities. Talent shows, concerts, and helicopter, hot-air, and motorcycle rides make every day super-special. Campers return home reinvigorated, with deep friendships and happy memories to help them travel the rough road ahead. Vocalists: Shmulie Rosenblatt featuring Dovid Hill Composed, arranged, and produced: DJ Yehuda Lyrics: DJ Yehuda Studio recording and Mastering: DJ Yehuda Recorded on-site at Camp Simcha Studios Dovid's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_BOw522_Qqjz_LkaOcUZsw Simcha makes me smile Simcha makes me fly Simcha gave my life back to me I will never be alone now that Simcha is my home there is nothing in the world I cannot beat - ‘Cuz Simcha makes me smile Wish I was going through the struggles of everyday life I’m on a different mode of living on a mission to survive I know you can’t relate but do you even try when you say you understand That you know how much I cry My words don’t really flow my friends, they just don’t get it my mind is overwhelmed pain is always present but it Pales like the snow to the feeling I’m alone my family is there for me but dealing with their own I put up a bravado a show of false pretension but behind the masquerade I'm just a kid who needs affection They bully me at school I’m not good enough or cool do they realize what they do that they break my heart in two Hospitals - my second home Medicines - no candy cones to be a kid - commodity That I don’t have because I’m me The ups and downs roller coaster it’s my life on my shoulders I wonder if there’s anyone Who understands am I alone? But Simcha makes me smile Simcha makes me fly Simcha gave my life back to me I will never be alone now that Simcha is my home there is nothing in the world I cannot beat - ‘Cuz Simcha makes me smile Frowns in place of smiles tears in place of fun my basket full of cherries has a pit in every one I simply just don’t fit I know I don’t belong I need someone or something or somewhere to hold on But now I got a Home new friends to call my own Who understand my pain because we’re e going through the same being part of a team a group society our heartbeats are in sync lift me up empower me! ‘Cuz Simcha makes me smile Simcha makes me fly Simcha gave my life back to me I will never be alone now that Simcha is my home there is nothing in the world I cannot beat Simcha makes me smile Simcha makes me fly Simcha gave my life back to me I will never be alone now that Simcha is my home I’m not afraid to be the me I was meant to be - ‘Cuz Simcha makes me smile
