I learned to laugh inside my tears,
I learned to be human in my most wretched years...
I learned to feel when I wasn't being touched,
I learned to give when I didn't have much.
I learned to be warm when I was cold...
Living real humbly, I learned to be bold.
I learned to live when I thought it better to die...
I learned to laugh when all I could do was cry.
I learned from below what it's like up above...
While I was hated, I learned how to love.
It was on the move that I learned how to rest,
While at my worst, I learned my best.
I learned about God, when it seemed I was damned...
It is when I was lost that I learned who I am.
I learned to be rich when I had no money...
These things seem so serious, but hey...
Ain't life funny!?
