The Sun Always Rises

No matter the darkness
and blackness of night
the sun always rises
to shine forth her light

And though there are some
who won't reach the dawn
from our hearts and our minds
they'll never be gone

And forever flowing,
this thing we call life
goes churning and turning
through goodness and strife

Despite gloomy detours
that take you off track
the sun always rises
to light your way back

The cycle continues
through pleasure and pain
as Nature employs
the drought and the rain

A nightmare unfolds
and afterwards, peace
One follows the other
The waves never cease

And another night comes
which the infant despises
yet the mother knows well
that the sun always rises
