lyrics

Look Back in Laughter Joe Woodard

Look back in laughter
It's only the changing tide that you've been
Wading through, fading into sky
Here ever after, the sentiment's bathed in tears
Will turn to graceful grins to soothe the beast within
It's better to simmer
Than rattle the cages of doom until you're
Blue from rage, the world's a lonely stage
The losers and winners
Will be counting up points until they feel victorious
On scoreboards caked in dust

There was a snickering fool at the gate where
Memory served up platters of fate and laughing chance
We'll shrug off these matters of life and death and
Broken romance

Look back in laughter, it's only a fairytale in real time
Where's the harm, where's the lucky charm?
Try to remember, forget all the darkest parts
And find the wherewithal to feel without the pain
