I Do Know!
How would I know what is sweet, what is sour,
Had I not tasted them both.
When the sour comes along, I just try to cling on,
And the sweet will follow in due course.
How would I know what is black , what is white,
If my eyes were not able to see.
when the black days appear,I do have little fear,
Cos the white days are coming to me.
How would I know what is truth, what are lies,
If I had had not learned to face read.
When the lies come around and you stand your ground,
Your face tells me The truth that I need.
