| 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… | |
