THE JOKE
 There’s a world out there that’s calling on your name
 Swear I heard the touch of a cry
 You give yourself the benefit of doubt
 That’s a joke you don’t read aloud
 Tried to love but the things I’ve had to see
 They’ve dried me out again
 Oh they’re drowning out the name
 I don’t want to give up the love
 I don’t want to give it up
 I don’t want to give up the love
 If you take my hand and let’s try
 I don’t want to give up the love
 I don’t want to give it up
 I don’t want to give up the love
 If you take my hand and just try
 I don’t want to be a part of this world
 If love and kindness run out and died
 I don’t want to be a part of your world
 It’s a joke you never wanna read out
 Tried to love but the things I’ve had to see
 They’ve dried me out again
 Oh they’re drowning out the name
 I don’t want to give up the love
 I don’t want to give it up
 I don’t want to give up the love
 So take my hand and let’s try
 I don’t want to give up the love
 I don’t want to give it up
 I don’t want to give up the love
 So take my hand and just try
