I love to laugh, life's tears run deep;
I love to laugh - for you, for me.
I feel such peace within my heart -
Why look at the shadows when there's
such a beautiful light within
yourself to look upon?

I love to laugh, to share the wealth;
Feels good to think of someone else -
To share the laughter in your soul,
could mean the difference between
half and whole - to someone else.
It'll drown the darkness with the light
of peace; and this light
will guide your ship into the shores of the sun.

I love to laugh, feel my heart beat strong -
When there's laughter here,
I hear the song of another's spirit.
We all have a unique and musical soul...
but you must feel and know peace
to allow it to show; yes, to hear,
your ear must be ever vigilant in
listening for your own rhythm.

I love to smile, to touch a heart,
I love to sing, even in the dark;
for one that sings keeps the shadows at bay -
and lo; weeps not for time passed away...
but takes the time to listen to
the song through the heart of mankind.
He put it there...
with just a touch of His hand -
and there is glorious music in this beautiful land.
