Laughing Is Better

Child like abandon is priceless.
A funny thing happened on the way to nowhere
While I was driving my car
Admiring my bloated nothingness in the rearview mirror
A little voice said that's a joke
That's not who you really are
A fiery sunset sank into the ocean
And the sea whispered to me
Laugh at yourself you don't have a moment
To waste on self importance
Be who you can really be
CHORUS: Laughing is better than crying
Express the joy you feel every day
Laughing feels better than crying
Tears roll down your face either way
A funny thing happened when I tried to get things done
Running around like a clown
I tripped and fell on my own ridiculous distraction
I had to laugh'had to laugh
Even as I hit the ground
CHORUS
Childlike abandon is priceless
But laughter comes so easily
Ever when you fall flat on your face
You're moving forward
Just remember, a smile is free
CHORUS (repeat)
