Lyrics: Keyser |
|
One moment's pause |
|
One moments retreat |
|
Away from the heat ... |
|
The silent surroundings |
|
The black of the predawn sky |
|
The chilled air of night |
|
All give meaning to the sunrise |
|
Without darkness |
|
What would we know of light? |
|
Day turns to night turns to day |
|
A cycle that rules our lives |
|
The darkness of night seems distant |
|
When the daylight arrives |
|
Two steps forward, one step back |
|
It's an unbeaten path we tread |
|
Sometimes we get blown off track |
|
Sometimes we get blown ahead |
|
Life's declines precede life's highs |
|
Like the lines on a biorhythmic chart |
|
Between the lows the beauty lies |
|
Don't take your failure to heart |
|
We may be dealt some cruel blows |
|
By fate's implacable hands |
|
Changing the future - changing our goals |
|
Laying waste to all of our plans |
|
No promises, no guarantees |
|
Of a rose-colored existence |
|
Progress comes slowly - always met with |
|
A measure of ruthless Resistance |
|
Whether it's the pleasure of success |
|
Or the pain of rejection |
|
Life doesn't travel just one way |
|
In either direction |
|
Bitter cold December |
|
Spirits - and time - seem as frozen |
|
As the icy ground |
|
But time will soon fall |
|
And march inevitably ahead |
|
The world keeps spinning ... |
|
Season come, seasons go |
|
As we helplessly watch them fly by |
|
But life has cycles we can Control |
|
In our own hands our destinies lie |
