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
