I Started A Joke

I started a joke
It started me laughing
But I didn’t see
That the joke was on me

When I finally realised
It started me thinking
And I had to see
That the joke was not meant to be

So I looked up my head
Ran my mind over my heart
I finally did
The thing I deem right to be

Now I’ve finally seen
That the joke wasn’t meant to be
It started a whole world living

A bad joke it was to be
Yeah…a joke that was on stupid me
