Polarity
Iron sharpens iron
Diamonds are created under pressure
What a man measures out
Will in turn become his measure
Only the hottest furnace
Turns precious metals
Into treasure
And if this life had no pain
Could happiness bring me pleasure?
An unremarkable man
Can make a difference
In a remarkable situation
In a moment there’s life or death
There’s no room for hesitation
So wether a man does
Or he doesn’t
A decision still is made
Never knowing right from wrong
There still a price that’s paid
Even the blind can
Walk without seeing
But no human can be
Without being
For every action there’s a reaction
For all the dark there’s light
For all the wrong that thrives in this world
On the opposite end there’s right
For every night there is a day
And for every day there is a night
You win some
You lose some
In a time of peace
Or when it’s time to fight
For every time we stand
There is a time we fell
There is a devil
There is one God
There is a Heaven
There is a hell
For God created this balance
He made the heavens
And He made the earth
Amd for everything
There is a season
And faith is dead without its works
So although there are none
Who are righteous
For we all stand stained by sin
God is the Alpha and Omega
A Trinity and polarity
He’s the beginning and the end
