I KEEP LAUGHING
I sailed across this ocean, yes I did And left all my people behind I climbed over this gate, I sure did But not many of our gang could They were left on the way But I did cross I suffered so much yeah so much To reach the over shore And fulfill my dream I keep laughing dear, I keep laughing At this miserable life I keep laughing baby That brought me to the West I keep laughing Despite the pain inside I keep laughing I keep laughing dear, I keep laughing At the face of humanity I keep laughing Like a flabbergasted idiot I keep laughing With so much suffering inside I laugh and laugh dear I keep laughing because My sorrow is too deep Hardly had I landed that they caught me All my thoughts were with my people I heard guns bullets whistle And many of our gang fall Gosh, what an innocent death Poor guys I suffered so much yeah so much To reach this land And have this dream fulfilled I keep laughing dear, I keep laughing At this miserable life I keep laughing baby That brought me to the West I keep laughing Despite the pain inside I keep laughing I keep laughing dear, I keep laughing At the face of humanity I keep laughing Like a flabbergasted idiot I keep laughing With so much suffering inside I laugh and laugh dear I keep laughing because My sorrow is too deep
