I know… Opposites attract I’ve seen it In hearts, in eyes In trembling echoes From those who see beyond What is… To what is meant to be Opposites Black and white Night and day Good and bad Happy and sad If hidden in the notes of morning Night still fills the hearts The memories of ghostlike dreams Night breathes in… the peaceful light That is found in morning’s soft voice If black says to leave behind The promise of yesterday’s prayer White says the sweetness of love Will rise to defy the darkest dread If good seeks to give bad a chance Bad often says it won’t work But when good is allowed an opinion It always says bad can be forgiven The offence of its mistakes, its evil Good tells bad the only danger Is the lack of compassion, mercy Sadness tells happy to go away There is no delight in the moment But happy reminds sad of the gray Where hope prevents sad from despair Where happy tells sad to let go of the past, Live… just live, find happiness that will last. Opposites attract But what can I say When the rain comes I seek sunlight through the weeping sky When the night arrives I seek the light of morning’s smile When the bad tells me its wrong I seek the story of doubt, not the song When the sad causes me to tear up I seek the happy in a heart that is yearning…. For a miracle and the miracle comes In the form of love that never gives up Love that is alive, always inspired Love that overshadows my doubts And encourages me to keep trying Opposites attract… But more than that… Love wins the war… Between… Black and white Night and day Good and bad Happy and sad Love wins the war And no words can reveal How thankful I am That love never stands still It is always moving around, Giving to those who need it most, And despite what it costs… This war is not lost Love wins and another day begins…. When I seek someone to encourage With this faith that says White’s purity can wipe away the blackest impurity Day’s light can still the darkest night Goodness can reveal the hope to every bad thought Happiness can still silence the root of a sad tear And so I believe… with love I’ll one day see This love inside of me… bring light that night can’t betray This love that I believe, although I may grieve… Will remind me that this love is meant to be given away That is the only way that any love can stay!
