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
