The Clown

The paint I wear on my face conceals my emotion 

I the fool, the jester who causes commotion  

My tears flood enough to fill the ocean 

An ocean that no one sees... 

Turn your frown upside down 

If you’re lost pretend your found 

I am the jokester, I am the clown 

If you cry a river don’t let yourself drown 

Just pretend and you’ll be happy 

Life is a circus, life is one great big joke  

One moment you’re alive, the next you die of a stroke  

I entertain the cheery children and the saddened old folk,  

But who entertains me?
