LAUGH, CLOWN, LAUGH

Come see the clown, painted smile in place.



Can you see tears running down his face?



Laughs on the outside, cries deep within;



Nobody cares how his life has been.



His heart is broken, feeling great pain,



Wants to find joy, not sadness retain.



Crying inside and laughing on the out.



He hides pain well, of that there is no doubt.



Laugh, clown, laugh, painted smile in place,



Laugh through tears running down your sad face.
