Let this pass through your eyes and rest in your mind
so that you can feel it in your heart.

Sometimes I’m sad
And I can’t be consoled
I’m confused
And I can’t see the light
And the weight of the cross that I bear
Drags me down
And whatever I do isn’t right

And then something happens
That makes me remember
That life is a gift I’ve received
And that sorrow’s consumed
All the love I’ve been given
And left me alone and deceived

Balance I think, overall is the key
And embracing each feeling that’s real
For if not for the sadness I’ve felt in my life
I would not know how happiness feels
