Is there sound way up in Heaven?
Your broken heart will heal only if you let it
But if I'm not around
Then who will hear the sound?
You flung your love and hope at me
From the other side of the big blue sea
Well, I hope someday
You get to see a pretty face
Well, I've got to go now, I really do
So please do what you've always wanted to
Forgive yourself if you ever forget
That a good joke is good medicine
So when they find I'm not for real
They'll all forget the reason that I steal
It was just a part
A character in my heart
They came quite fast to shut it all down
This Silly Dream that I once wrote about
But in the end, someday
I hope you see past the masquerade
Well, I've got to go now, I really do
So please do what you've always wanted to
Forgive yourself if you ever forget
That a good joke is good medicine
I said my name was David and then
I gave myself some brand new friends
Named Drew, and Jane
Bree, Camille, and Karen
Well, I've got to go now, I really do
So please do what you've always wanted to
Forgive yourself if you ever forget
That a good joke is good medicine
Yeah, a good joke is good medicine
It's good medicine
Way up
Way up in heaven
Way up
Way up in heaven
