Shad, Justin Nozuka - At the Same Time lyrics
[Shad, Justin Nozuka - At the Same Time lyrics]
Until, I heard a church pray
For the death of Obama
And wondered if they knew they
Share that prayer with Osama
Blasphemy and karma, the comedy of drama
I never laughed and cried at the same time
Until, I imagined
They were suddenly aware of it
But wondered who's the heretic, and
Is the true terrorist, american or Arabic
A mix of surprise and embarrassment
Laughing and crying at the same time
Different lives, all the same dying
Two enemies of the same mind
Same hope, same laughter, same crying
But, I never laughed and cried
At the same time
Until, I saw a child wish on a star
And it came true
And realized the two of them
Shared the same view
From below and above, with the light within
That glows like love and
Illuminates the truth
I never laughed and cried at the same time
Like Marvin singing "I Heard
It Through the Grapevine"
Until, I saw an old prince
With the fear of a crown
And smoke filled his eyes
With the tears of a clown
I never laughed and cried at the same time
I never laughed and cried at the same time
See, my heart cries, out against lies
So I hate when it's sunny
When the world seems blue
It's only funny, cause it's true
But with humour and me it's less funny
More funny when it's you
That's the rules that we play by
So I never laughed and cried at the same time
Until, I saw a boy, with a teardrop tatted
Smiling face
Painted with a faint trace of sadness
He was laughing and crying at the same time
They say you can't fall in
Love with the same mind
I hope it gets there, if I was ever even here
Memory's strange, the past
Like the future's never clear
But, I'm pretty sure I never smile
While I shed a tear
I never laughed and cried at the same time
Until, I saw my father
As a young man like me
I never laughed and cried at the same time
Until, I saw god, as a young man like me
I never laughed and cried at the same time
Until, I saw a girl
Bring a smile to her brother
With the wisdom of a child
For the death of their mother
