Laugh About It (Live At Beacon Theatre)

[Verse 1]

You can laugh about it, something’s in the air

You can cry about it, no one really cares

No, nobody see’s it

You can sing about it, sing it in a prayer

You can scream about it, hands up in the air

No, you're not suppose to feel it

But now, now that we’ve seen it

[Chorus]

Rise up, right where they pushed you down

Don’t let nobody ever turn you round

Try, try to believe it

All the caring and hard work and trouble

Is worth the chance

[Verse 2]

You can talk about it, it was always there

Ain’t no doubt about it, it ain’t always fair

So where, do we take it from here

When life, is what we make it

[Chorus]

Rise up, right where they pushed you down

Don’t let nobody ever turn you round

Try, try to believe it

All the caring and hard work and sorrow

Is worth the chance

[Verse 3]

Stand up while you still can

Rise up, it's worth the chance

Rise up

Keep them up, right where I can see them

Keep your hands up high, right where I can see them

Ain't no time for freedom

Oh no, oh no, oh no

You can laugh all about it, If you will

Something is in the air, you can cry about it

I said no one really cares, nobody see’s it

Sing it in a prayer, you can scream about it

Oh, but keep those hands in the air

Right where I can see them, hands right in the air

Ain't no time for freedom

Keep your hands up, oh yeah

Keep your hands up, oh yeah

Keep your hands, oh right on up

Keep your hands right on up where I can see them

Keep them up, get them up

Don't hide, where I can see them

Come on, one time

Laugh about it, if you will, if you will, if you will
