Free to Laugh

[Verse] Every joke a tightrope walk Careful words silence the talk Can't please everyone in the room Laughter fades swallowed by gloom [Verse 2] Stars once bright now falling down Freedom crushed lost in this town Satire's gone buried deep below Truth untold seeds we'll never sow [Chorus] Free to laugh let it be Jokes are meant to set us free No more chains no hollow fears Comedy's joy bring back the cheers [Verse 3] Thought police they watch our words Clip our wings silence the birds Can't we see it's all pretend Lighten hearts let wounds mend [Bridge] Life's a play we must engage Actors on a wide open stage Feelings hurt but still we learn Through the fire we shall return [Chorus] Free to laugh let it be Jokes are meant to set us free No more chains no hollow fears Comedy's joy bring back the cheers
