Once upon a time son
They used to laugh with their heart 
And laugh with their eyes 
But now they only laugh with their teeth while their eyes block cold ice search behind my shadow 


Their was a time indeed 
Their used to shake hands with their heart 
But that’s gone son
Now they only shake hands with out heart 
While my left hand search my empty pocket 


Feel at home come again, they say and when I come again and feel at home
Once, twice, there will be no thrice 
But for then find the door shut on me


So I have learn many things son
I have learn to wear many faces 
Like dresses, home face, office face, street face, host face and cult face 
With all their conforming smiles 
Like a fixed portrait smile 


And I have learn to 
To laugh with only my teeth and to shake hands with out my heart 
To say goodbye when I mean good riddance 
To say glad to meet you,without being glad 
And say it been 
nice talking to you after being bored 


But believe me son
I want to be what I used to be 
When i was like you
I want to unlearn all this muting things 
Most of all I want to relearn how to laugh for my laugh in the mirror
Shows only my teeth like a snake bare fangs 


So show me son
Show me how to laugh and smile 
Show me how 
Once upon a time when I was like you
