Drums of dawn, don't lay down
A war inside a wall
For losers' tears, the answer is
Laughter in the wind
A foolish lie, and no reply
Just laughter in the wind
We cry out loud, and scream so proud
Laughter in the wind
Just laughter in the wind
Life is like a strange song
So prearranged
Life is like a strange song
Always on the edge
The chosen roles of desire are so hard to change
But broken dreams made us feel the pain
Made us feel the pain
I slept through the winter's night
Now I'm blinded by the light
All I got for my 40 years
Is now all up for sale
For laughter in the wind
Our endless fight is still the same
Am I the one to blame
My voice is weak, the crowd is loud
Nothing left for us to lose
A carousel of fools
Life is like a strange song
So prearranged
Life is like a strange song
Always on the edge
The chosen roles of desire are so hard to change
But broken dreams made us feel the pain
Made us feel the pain
I left my roots, I lost my dad
I have no god or native land
A poetic fool with no more to learn
Than a laughter in the wind
Just laughter in the wind
You've got a chance to win, you've got a chance to lose
You are free to all, my friend
You don't have to sing your father's blues
For a laughter in the wind
For just a laughter in the wind
Life is like a strange song
So prearranged
Life is like a strange song
Always on the edge
The chosen roles of desire are so hard to change
But broken dreams made us feel the pain
The chosen roles of desire are so hard to change
But broken dreams made us feel the pain
Made us feel the pain
