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.
