Apparent Paradox

(Not yet recorded)
The warmth of home delights us most when there's a storm outside
A smile shines out more brilliantly with every tear that's cried
The dissonance in music makes a harmony sound sweet
Our victories seem greater after we have known defeat
When losing what we love the most leaves what we love the least
We cling tighter to the very thing we struggle to release
And when we've lost it all we learn what we have to give
When we know what we'd die for we discover how to live
VERSE: We never know how brave we are until we've been afraid
We don't know who we should distrust until we've been betrayed
The brightest sunrise dawns once we have faced the darkest night
We think we strive for peace and yet we escalate the fight
We cannot have the joy of being found 'til we've been lost
We pay the price and still refuse to calculate the cost
And when we face the famine and our last brave hope has ceased
Still we'll set the table and prepare to serve the feast
CHORUS
BRIDGE: There's no day without night, no wrong without right
Yang requires yin. Virtue needs sin
Agreement ends strife. Death completes life
Strangers and friends have beginnings and ends
CHORUS
BRIDGE #2: We're early, we're late, We love and we hate
We're clear, we're confused. We're users, we're used.
We're last and we're first, the best and the worst
We're foolish and wise. It's true, we tell lies
BRIDGE #3: (continue and fade) There's shadow and light, there's black and there's white
There's pleasure and pain, There's loss and there's gain
There's faith and there's doubt. We're in and we're out.
We're hot and we're cold. We're young and we're old
