Ups And Downs

All that I've found through the ups and downs

Is that I'd have it no other way

Life in the raw is both fragile and strong

It's both lovely and ugly the same

Who can attest that when they're at their best

Oh their worst is still crouching close behind

It's coming to peace with the darkness in me

That allows the true light to shine inside

So let it go, for we are still far from home

Though you try and try to escape

To live and to love will always be dangerous

But it's better than playing it safe

We are composed of a symphony of notes

Every life is as music to His ears

I'll play my melody be it haunting be it sweet

Unashamed of what anyone might hear

So when the load breaks your back and your will

You must still keep your heart in the game

To live and to love will always be dangerous

But it's better than playing it safe

So let it go, when it don't feel like home

When inside is your only escape

To live and to love will always be dangerous

But would you want it any other way?
