SONG 12: LIVE & LAUGH & LOVE

SHAWN

Laugh a little more

Louder than before

Saddled by the weight of time progressing

Every stupid moment is a blessing

Funny 'cause it's true

All there is to do

In the face of existential nonsense

Is to sop it up before it's gone and...

Laugh and live and love

All of the above

Feel as deep as feelings can be feeling

Feel it from the floor up to the ceiling

Love and live and laugh

Half and half and half

Greater than the sum of each component

Somewhere in the sum of every moment

There's an experience he's desperate to explain

It's more than one small dumb audition can contain

It's everything, it's life, it's silly, it's profound

In grave absurdity, there's meaning to be found

Reaching out his hand

Hopes they understand

He is not expecting adulation

All he really wants to do is make them...

Laugh and maybe cry

Both at the same time

He has got to make it happen some way

Also he's a mime and so he can't say

Words
