A friend of mine asked me;
Where has he been?
Where is he now?
I said he'd been set free;
Shares a little joke with the world somehow
Sounded like he'd make a halo;
When I heard his laughter floating;
It's all for fun you know?
He said he'd just let go;
Shares a little joke with the world.
The world around you,
Never catches up to you.
How can I make you as happy as I am?
I feel like you're running;
I know we could fly;
Your eyes are never tired;
Your mind is on fire;
You're heart has never been satisfied.
Some people are in love;
Some know everything can be done.
I think you're joking;
I believe half of you;
I want to journey;
I want to laugh with you;
But after you,
Share a little joke with the world
The world around you,
Never catches up to you.
