I never laughed and cried at the same time… | |
Until, I heard a church pray for the death of Obama | |
And wondered if they knew they share that prayer with Osama | |
Blasphemy and karma, the comedy of drama | |
I never laughed and cried at the same time… | |
Until, I imagined, they were suddenly aware of it | |
But wondered who's the heretic, and is the true terrorist, American or Arabic | |
A mix of surprise and embarrassment | |
Laughing and crying at the same time… | |
Different lives, all the same dying | |
Two enemies of the same mind | |
Same hope, same laughter, same crying | |
But I never laughed and cried at the same time… | |
Until, I saw a child wish on a star, and it came true | |
And realized the two of them, shared the same view | |
From below and above, with the light within | |
That glows like love and illuminates the truth | |
I never laughed and cried at the same time… | |
Like Marvin singing, I heard it through the Grapevine | |
Until, I saw an old prince, with the fear of a crown | |
And smoke filled his eyes, with the tears of a clown | |
I never laughed and cried at the same time… | |
I never laughed and cried at the same time… | |
See, my heart cries, out against lies | |
So I hate when it's sunny, when the world seems blue | |
It's only funny, cause it's true | |
But we're human, with me it's less funny, more funny when it's you | |
That's the rules that we play by | |
So I never laughed and cried at the same time… | |
Until, I saw a boy, with a teardrop tatted | |
Smiling face, painted with a faint trace of sadness | |
He was laughing and crying at the same time… | |
They say you can't fall in love with the same mind | |
I hope it gets there, if I was ever even here | |
Memory's strange | |
The past, like the future's never clear | |
But I'm pretty sure I never smile, while I shed a tear | |
I never laughed and cried at the same time… | |
Until, I saw my father, as a young man like me | |
I never laughed and cried at the same time… | |
Until, I saw god, as a young man like me | |
I never laughed and cried at the same time… | |
Until, I saw a girl, bring a smile to her brother | |
With the wisdom of a child, for the death of their mother | |
I never laughed and cried at the same time… | |
I never laughed and cried at the same time… |
