Ups and downs

All that I've found through the ups and the 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
Its coming to peace with the darkness in me
That allows the true light inside to shine

So let it go for we are still far from home
Though you try and you try to escape
To live and to love will always be dangerous
But it's better than playing it safe

From the Kendall Payne song "Ups and Downs"
