Small trembling hands, smeared makeup

Cruel laughter, clenched fists

A lonely child, a heart already broken

He dreamed of a future beyond these tears

Years spent hiding the pain

Mastering the art of making others smile

Behind every joke, behind every game

A fragile soul burning bright inside

Now on stage, the lights blind him

Roaring applause, yet finds no solace

Everyone admires him, no one understands

His mask perfect, his smile divine

But when the curtain falls

And the makeup melts away

Who sees the tears

Of a clown who suffers?

Laugh, clown, make them laugh again

Even if inside it's always dawn

Your joy is fake, the pain is real

But the audience calls, return whole

Laugh, clown, it's your sentence

A life balancing between love and struggle

One day, maybe someone will understand

That behind that red nose hides the truth

A gentle soul just seeking love

In a world that laughs at his pain

Tired of pretending, tired of suffering

He decides to take off the mask and leave

But as he turns, he sees a child

Looking at him with eyes full of dreams

And in that moment, he understands

That his pain has meaning

That his difficult life

Has become an immense gift

Laugh, clown, make them laugh again

Your pain wasn't in vain

Your joy is real, the pain has passed

In the smile of a child, you found yourself

Laugh, clown, it's your mission

Bringing joy where there is affliction
