Laughter is contagious
So too’s a frown
Stand on your head
Your frown’s a laugh

If I was as big as a Tyrannosaurus Rex
I would go to Paris and hug the Eiffel Tower
You might scare people, her husband suggested
I would not look like a Tyrannosaurus Rex,
I would just be as big as one
How would that scare anyone? she asked him
I would be scared of a hundred foot woman, he said.
She rolled her eyes at her husband.
I know, she said. For you are scared even of me.
he did not know where to go with this,
since she held grudges, he quietly tiptoed into the living room
where his beer was waiting
God has been so good to me
Much better than I’ve been to my self
So I told someone, then they told someone
Then they told somebody else
I woke up one morning, I was feeling so low
I had to look up at my feet
Then I remembered from long ago
Something my Mama said to me.
She said sometimes you’ll feel that the weight of this world
Is too much for you to bear
There’s nowhere to turn and no one to call
You can’t find a friend anywhere.
So you cry out – Jesus.. Jesus.. Jesus.. Jesus
And He’ll fix it.
All of a sudden I felt so free
God opened doors that I could not see.
He loosed the shackles that had me bound
He removed the burdens that were weighing me down
So then I told someone, and they told someone
And they told somebody else
That Jesus can fix it.
I told someone – they told someone
And they told somebody else
That Jesus can fix it.

the world’s shaken in a bag
bumping together
this life is not guaranteed
