For all that is good and glorious
For all that is happy and gay
For all that is holy and virtuous
there is an opposite as night and day.

For all that is tragic and painful
For all that keeps us down
For all that makes our life sorrowful
There's always dawn life's jeweled crown.

The wheel comes and returns
In irony there's beauty
in contradiction there's mystery
the joy and the pain
the love and the hate
the lessons life's parody.

There is doubt and there is darkness
there is pain and there is sadness
I am lost and all alone...
i have nothing to cling to...
there is no home.

an infinite longing overtakes me
a melancholy so great it eats me
I have no one to turn to
no hope no consolation no color no hue.

I can only rely on the powers that guide me
I can only trust in the force that makes my heart beat
As long as life pulsates inside of me
the fight goes on while i stand on my feet.

As long as the sun rises,
as long as the winds blow,
as long as the earth still blesses
as long as the grass still grow.
I am safe and loved even in my trespasses
this i feel, i live, and clearly know.

Not in vain shall we experience the pain of life's living
The pain is there to teach us the best way of being
Not in vain do failures in our life keep happening
There are great lessons that failures keep us teaching

What matters in not how many times you took the blows
What matters is that you are still standing
What matters is not the failures in your life that shows
What matters is how you keep on trying.

And if you fall down in your weakest moment
And so give up all the pain and the torment
When you only have your breath and your heartbeat going
Rest still in the knowledge that you gave your best trying

Then the universe will succor you as you give up in grace
The whole kosmos supports courage and will it seeks in every face
All the stars will align and you will lead them the way
For your pure heart and effort is what will save the day

There are flowers hiding in the secret recesses of my soul
Without them i wouldn't be complete and whole
Fed by joy and tears, happiness and fears,
In my encounter with pain, i emerge to live again.

I now rise to face the world again with a pure heart
Trembling yet steadfast to make a fresh start
I hold in my soul the flowers the made me whole
To strengthen me and encourage me to finish my goal.

From the pain of my center, i have survived to remember
How life is a blessing, how to treasure every encounter
From my sore and tender heart, a great lesson to all i now impart
That joy and sadness, love and hate, light and darkness, you and i, are one and not apart!
