There Has To Be Some Mourning Laughter
A wake should not be solid grim
It doesn't mean our sense of humor
Has no respect for her or him

Amusing moments happen after
The loss of family or a friend
Its all a part of grief and healing
One way of helping hearts to mend

Life still continues for the living
Above the gloom, we must climb
Through happiness we still are giving
Though some may say, "Not the time."

There Has To Be Some Mourning Laughter
Life boats to take us to the shore
Light hearted joy to fade the darkness
And celebrate what was, once more

There Has To Be Some Mourning Laughter
(There Has To Be Some Mourning Laughter)
There Has To Be Some Mourning Laughter
(There Has To Be Some Mourning Laughter
