It's Never All Good Or All Bad
Life is never 100% good, or 100% bad
The ups and downs are as normal as breathing
Going with the flow is pretty sound advice
It's how I've been able to stay relatively sane all these years
Each tragedy through life makes us stronger
And makes us able to laugh at all the trials and tribulations
If we could change things, most would opt for better control
But the diversity is what makes us strong
Sounds like a kind of “catch 22” situation doesn't it
We must endure hardships to help us feel better by comparison
It tells us that life is not always a bed of roses
Which is evident by all the nasty stuff
That continues to happen around the world
But if we remain strong, the result is a better understanding
Of what it takes to make it through this crazy old world
I don't profess to have all the answers
This is just my take on living a happy care free life
I reiterate, life is never all good or all bad
