<paradox>

you can't have sunshine,
without a little rain,
you can have happiness,
without a little pain,
you have have heartbreak,
unless you have a heart,
you can't have a family,
without it tearing apart,
you can't have a white rose,
without the shadow it casts,
you can't have a present,
without enduring the past,

these things; you know,
play with your life,
until you're down and gone,
but better days
will come my dear,
just wait a little long.
