laugh (come on and)
For what will be
Laugh
In only the way that you can laugh
Cry
When the reasons for crying can’t be
Denied
Don’t let them tell you when you can or can’t
Smile
For the point of it all is that there will be a day when you can
Laugh
You will feel joy again someday and
Laugh
Mad
In only the way you know how to feel
Sad
It’s not too late to come out and
Scream
And maybe when you’ve let it all out you can
Smile
You will feel joy again someday
And you will smile again someday
Come on and
Laugh
Cry
Don’t hold it inside
Sob
And let the tears flow out of your
Eyes
Feel that feeling in your throat
Ache
Even after all this time
You will feel joy again someday
And you will smile again someday
And you will feel the sun on your face
Come on and
Laugh
Cry
For the years that won’t be
Cry
For the things you won’t see
Cry
For what will never be
Cry
Then
Come on and
Laugh
Laugh
Laugh
And hold your head high

Thank you everyone.
Oh Chris! I've known, not this pain, but this kind of pain. I thought the sun would never shine again (and shouldn't), I thought I'd never feel hope again (and didn't want to), and I thought my future would be endless darkness and agony (and wanted it that way).
Then, I felt warmth on my face, and found myself wanting to see what came next, and then one day, I laughed. That's when I began to know healing.
This is beautiful.
Loved the way you wrote this an the message. Laugh (whether you want to or not)
Good advice, Chris. :)
I needed this laugh thank you Chris. Jamie
