Today I opened up an old card of mine and read the words that used to make me feel so fine,
But if you'd ask her now about the things she wrote she'd only laugh at herself.

But it's not a joke,
It's not a joke,
And you might disagree, but it's not a joke to me.

And when the night falls hard on an empty soul,
When fear and anger and loneliness take control,
Someone will lose their will to live and say, "Goodbye" because they wanted to die.

But life's not a joke,
Life's not a joke,
And you might disagree, but life's not a joke to me.

God is the one true love that we're dying for,
He is the hope of life that we can't ignore,
And on this narrow road I will always be, with God in front of me.

And God's not a joke,
God's not a joke,
And you might disagree, but God's not a joke to me.

And it's not a joke,
It's not a joke,
And you might disagree, but it's not a joke to me.
