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.
