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 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...
