The sun hangs low, shadows bleed into the night Memories drift by like smoke on the wind, just out of sight Where did laughter go, when did joy take flight? In this heavy silence, searching for the light I wander through the streets where the shadows play Every step feels heavy, like I’m dragging yesterday Do you remember laughter, back when smiles came easy? 'Cause I can’t recall the last time my heart felt free What happened to my dreams? Where did they all go? What happened to my life? It’s such a heavy toll What happened to the joy I found in every day? What happened to the laughter? What happened to the play? Every day’s a contest, survival in disguise Caught in this spiral, where dreams come to die Once I had ambitions, oh, I had big plans Now I’m holding pieces that slip right through my hands What happened to my dreams? Where did they all go? What happened to my life? It’s such a heavy toll What happened to the joy I found in every day? What happened to the laughter? What happened to the play? I’ve searched through my memories, like stones on the shore Wondering why I can’t find what I was searching for I want to feel alive, I want to hear that sound The freedom of laughter, joy that knows no bounds What happened to my dreams? Where did they all go? What happened to my life? It’s such a heavy toll What happened to the joy I found in every day? What happened to the laughter? What happened to the play? So I’ll search for the laughter, in every quiet place Gather up the pieces, find a little grace Underneath the surface, I’ll let my heart take flight In the echoes of laughter, I’ll reclaim my light
