At the Same Time - Shad.mp3

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Shadrach Paul Kabango
[01:07.05]I never laughed and cried at the same time…
[01:09.60]Until, I heard a church pray for the death of Obama
[01:12.33]And wondered if they knew they share that prayer with Osama
[01:14.97]Blasphemy and karma, the comedy of drama
[01:17.67]I never laughed and cried at the same time…
[01:20.13]Until, I imagined, they were suddenly aware of it
[01:22.41]But wondered who's the heretic, and is the true terrorist, American or Arabic
[01:26.46]A mix of surprise and embarrassment
[01:28.47]Laughing and crying at the same time…
[01:31.35]Different lives, all the same dying
[01:34.08]Two enemies of the same mind
[01:36.66]Same hope, same laughter, same crying
[01:38.88]But I never laughed and cried at the same time…
[01:41.43]Until, I saw a child wish on a star, and it came true
[01:44.28]And realized the two of them, shared the same view
[01:46.77]From below and above, with the light within
[01:49.47]That glows like love and illuminates the truth
[01:52.32]I never laughed and cried at the same time…
[01:54.66]Like Marvin singing, I heard it through the Grapevine
[01:57.51]Until, I saw an old prince, with the fear of a crown
[02:00.36]And smoke filled his eyes, with the tears of a clown
[02:03.00]I never laughed and cried at the same time…
[02:08.43]I never laughed and cried at the same time…
[02:50.85]See, my heart cries, out against lies
[02:53.55]So I hate when it's sunny, when the world seems blue
[02:56.58]It's only funny, cause it's true
[02:58.14]But we're human, with me it's less funny, more funny when it's you
[03:01.98]That's the rules that we play by
[03:03.84]So I never laughed and cried at the same time…
[03:07.02]Until, I saw a boy, with a teardrop tatted
[03:09.48]Smiling face, painted with a faint trace of sadness
[03:12.33]He was laughing and crying at the same time…
[03:14.88]They say you can't fall in love with the same mind
[03:17.28]I hope it gets there, if I was ever even here
[03:20.13]Memory's strange
[03:21.09]The past, like the future's never clear
[03:22.86]But I'm pretty sure I never smile, while I shed a tear
[03:25.68]I never laughed and cried at the same time…
[03:28.44]Until, I saw my father, as a young man like me
[03:31.08]I never laughed and cried at the same time…
[03:33.87]Until, I saw god, as a young man like me
[03:36.39]I never laughed and cried at the same time…
[03:39.18]Until, I saw a girl, bring a smile to her brother
[03:41.46]With the wisdom of a child, for the death of their mother
[03:44.22]I never laughed and cried at the same time…
[03:49.65]I never laughed and cried at the same time…
