The Clown

“Behind every painted smile, there is a heartbeat waiting to be heard.”

The Clown is a song about the quiet struggles we hide behind gentle smiles—
the burdens we carry alone,
the memories we bury deep,
and the moment we finally face ourselves with honesty and courage.

This video captures the delicate emotions of a girl who once learned to survive by pretending to be “the clown,”
yet slowly discovers the strength to embrace her true self.

If you’ve ever smiled through pain,
if you’ve ever felt invisible,
if you’ve ever wished someone could see the real you—
this song is for you.

“THE CLOWN"

Always wanting to be seen,
Yet only I know my sunrise and sunset within.
Always trying to prove my worth,
But every ending feels like a show unseen.
I’m like a clown craving eyes to find,
Playing a part that’s only mine.
No applause, no crowd to cheer,
Only silence, always near.

Always hoping to be loved,
Yet tears are all I share with myself above.
Always dreaming to be saved,
But I’m the first to stand when storms behave.
I’m like a clown who wants to fly,
But wings were never mine to try.
I fall, I break, I bleed unseen,
And only I know where I’ve been.

So many times I’ve longed to give in,
But the voice inside whispers again:
Don’t be afraid —
Even clowns can rise within.

Like blue skies that gather stormy clouds,
Like sunlight that still breaks out loud —
Go on!
Why doubt who you could be?
Even lost birds find their way,
Even streams twist yet reach the sea.
A clown, too, has meaning to be.

Go on!
Why give up so easily?
After rain comes the scenery clean.
Winter snow will melt to spring,
Even a clown deserves a dawn to dream.
Listen — the wind softly calls to me:
“Go on, your dreams are waiting to be.”

Even if tears blur the sky,
I’ll still chase that trace of light.
If my heart burns, it won’t fade away,
If dreams live on, I’ll find my way.
A clown can still hold miracles deep,
Every clown is a soul unique.
Go on!
Be the happiest me,
My truth is the beauty meant to be.
Through light and shade, through sky and sea,
I stand — the truest me.

Always wanting to be seen,
Yet only I know my sunrise and sunset within.
Always trying to prove my worth,
Still dancing in the dark, serene.

I am the clown,
And I am the one.
The only one —
Still shining, even when no one’s watching on.

I am the clown,
And I am the one.
The only one —
Still shining, even when no one’s watching on.
