Lyrics
Still Laughing
© Mark G Atkins 1997, revised 2008
And as these memories fade into oblivion,
in the distance I can hear you laughing.
And as these thoughts turn to stone I hear the voices fade.
And all the hearts they are crying, but you're still laughing.
Still laughing.
Driven by your man of war, the world has seen it all before.
And through the smoke and the dying He's still laughing.
With promises of endless gain does anybody really win this game?
One thing's for sure; through it all He's still laughing.
I've travelled this road now long and hard,
hiding from the dangers
with eyes closed;
I still hear Him laughing,
still hear Him laughing.
[Instrumental]
Tied to earth by worldly love the serpent coils about my life.
When I am trapped by my desire I hear Him laughing.
Will the Angels push us far enough apart to let the wounds be healed?
By the love of the Almighty, He won't be laughing.
He won't be laughing.
I'm no longer scared and I want to see
but I'm growing weary.
Take me far
from His laughing,
from His laughing.
[Instrumental]
