"Laughing with...God"

No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God
When they’re starving or freezing or so very poor
No one laughs at God
When the doctor calls after some routine tests
No one’s laughing at God
When it’s gotten real late
And their kid’s not back from the party yet
No one laughs at God
When their airplane start to uncontrollably shake
No one’s laughing at God
When they see the one they love, hand in hand with someone else
And they hope that they’re mistaken
No one laughs at God
When the cops knock on their door
And they say we got some bad news, sir
No one’s laughing at God
When there’s a famine or fire or flood
But God can be funny At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke,
Or when the crazies say He hates us
And they get so red in the head you think they’re ‘bout to choke
God can be funny,
When told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious
Ha ha Ha ha
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God
When they’ve lost all they’ve got
And they don’t know what for
No one laughs at God on the day they realize
That the last sight they’ll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes
No one’s laughing at God when they’re saying their goodbyes
But God can be funny At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
Or when the crazies say He hates us
And they get so red in the head you think they’re ‘bout to choke
God can be funny,When told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one laughing at God in hospital
No one’s laughing at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God when they’re starving or freezing or so very poor
No one’s laughing at God
No one’s laughing at God
No one’s laughing at God
We’re all laughing with God

llorona

Con mucho....

con mucho pensamiento y con solo un poco de aventura,

con mucho de los olvidos cargados, a cada instante,

estoy con mucho de todo aquello que pienso, y me traga sin compasion y me devuelve con solo lagrimas debajo de los ojos...llorona!, me decis...

Ultimamente estoy con muchos azotes y huracanes, y los guardo hasta entre mis manos,

mucho de solo lo mio, y muy poco de lo tuyo,

mucho de todos los demas, excepto de vos....

Me descubro con mucho sueño, pero de el de hoy, ayer y antier...y muy poco sueño como el tuyo, de silencios y consuelos.

Me siento con mucha angustia entre mis palabras, y poco del acidito que da la quietud y calma

...llorona!, me decis...

Que nos encontremos como si fueramos uno,

que aunque no nos veamos las caras

nos sintamos el alma, como uno que somos todos,

como todos que somos uno.

Que el viaje sea pacifico y sereno,

que el paso sea dulce y placentero

para un alma noble que empieza de nuevo.
