keep on laughing so you don't cry
keep your eyes pointed at the sky

keep your mind open, heart on your sleeve
everybody dies, its ok to grieve
unfold your hands, let them ring out loud
open your voice, raise it tall and proud

keep on laughing so you don't cry
keep your eyes pointed at the sky

trust yourself, and you'll trust the world
and your own proud flag will be unfurled
talk to God and God will talk back to you
follow your heart, it will tell you what to do

keep on laughing so you don't cry
keep your eyes pointed at the sky

be kind and gentle, its not the same as naive
trust your judgement, you'll rarely be deceived
do what's right, you'll know what's not
never pretend to be anything you're not

keep on laughing so you don't cry
keep your eyes pointed at the sky

keep on laughing so you don't cry
keep your feet on the ground and your eyes on the sky
