about

I wrote this song after the death of Robin Williams.

lyrics

You made us laugh and you made us cry,
And here at the end, we all wonder why.
You brought us sorrow and you gave us joy.
We all felt like children with new Christmas toys.
You seemed so happy almost all of the time,
But no one can tell what goes on inside someone else’s mind

[CHORUS]
Maybe you never asked to be a treasure,
But you wore the costume well.
Every time we saw you, you looked happy,
While you secretly walked through your own private hell.
Why do we always blame ourselves when someone we love takes their own life?
Why does it always have to feel like we’re balanced on the deadly point of the knife?

You brought me peace and you made me weep.
You helped me through times when my soul was asleep.
I watched as you danced and I laughed as you joked,
And I felt all the emotions a scene could evoke.
They say as we laugh while he bumbles around
That you never can see into the heart of a clown.

[REPEAT CHORUS]

I guess in the end everybody will die,
And each one will leave someone else here to cry.
I didn’t know you, but know this is true;
You left behind millions who now cry for you.

[REPEAT CHORUS]
