Let me tell you friend
When the blues come to call
It don’t spare you or me
But comes to one and all
We’ve all been there
In that abyss all alone
One way in and no way out
Then suddenly you’re safe at home
The blues will run its course
Shake you up pretty bad
Feeling overwhelmed
Leave you exhausted and sad
But then you realize
Like a trooper you’ve survived
Same as the Phoenix Bird
You’ve been revived
Your laughter fills the air
Let it echo throughout the land
Feel your strength grow
Proud of the ground you stand
So sweet are the tears
And the smiles that come after
Saying good-bye to those blues
Is the tragedy of laughter
