At the Same Time
Shad
At the Same Time 歌詞
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 whos 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 its sunny, when the world seems blue
Its only funny, cause its true
But were human, with me its less funny, more funny when its you
Thats 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 andcrying at the same time…
They say you cant fall in love with the same mind
I hope it gets there, if I was ever even here
Memorys strange
The past, like the futures never clear
But Im 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…
