|
Things go up and then they go down, |
|
Chase a smile with a frown. |
|
He knows that his joy will stop, |
|
Waiting for the other shoe to drop. |
|
He's a ship on the sea, |
|
Setting sail to perfidy. |
|
He is cold, he is warm, |
|
He's the peace inside the storm. |
|
Feel the swelling of a wave, |
|
Hear the ringing of a bell, |
|
He's been weak and he's been brave, |
|
He's been to heaven and he's been to hell. |
|
See the old in the new, |
|
See the life stretch out before you, |
|
See a mother in the child, |
|
There was youth behind grey eyes. |
|
I don't know him anymore, |
|
He isn't like he was before. |
|
A stone is taken by the tide, |
|
Another season on the other side. |
|
Like the spinning of a wheel, |
|
He'll be hurt but he will heal. |
|
There's a flower in the weeds, |
|
There's a life inside the seed. |
|
(And he said) |
|
"I have never been as happy as I am today", |
|
(But then the seasons turned and the darkness came) |
|
"So when it all falls apart |
|
I will have peace in my heart" |
|
(Try to think of the healing that comes out of the pain). |
|
"Try to redeem myself for my mistakes in advance", |
|
(The sun will shine after the rain) |
|
"I know that when I fall down |
|
I'll get another chance" |
|
(Just wipe away the tears and try again). |
|
We couldn't see without the dark, |
|
Thing's wouldn't end without a spark. |
|
There is no truth without lies |
|
And no future without memories. |
|
He's in the middle of the road, |
|
From where he's been and where he'll go. |
|
He's the forest kissed by flames, |
|
The trees die so they can grow again. |
|
He knows that death is part of life, |
|
He would have made that girl his wife. |
|
Now there's only darkness, |
|
There is no dawn, now that she's gone. |
|
(And he said) |
|
"I have never been as happy as I am today", |
|
(But then the seasons turned and the darkness came) |
|
"So when it all falls apart |
|
I will have peace in my heart" |
|
(Try to think of the healing that comes out of the pain). |
|
"Try to redeem myself for my mistakes in advance", |
|
(The sun will always shine after the rain) |
|
"I know that when I fall down |
|
I'll get another chance" |
|
(Just wipe away the tears and try again). |
