Here Comes The Other Side

(Intro) Verse 1 Morning puts its gold on everything, Night leaves silver on the same old street, One says, “Everything is starting,” One says, “Nothing's ever complete.” I have worn a smile for strangers, I have carried storms inside, I've been certain I was standing right Then wondered why I lied. Chorus Here comes the sunlight, Here comes the shade, Here comes the promise And the price that we paid. One hand is reaching, One hand lets go, We're made of the things we understand And all the things we don't know. Verse 2 I found peace beneath another sky, Then found my temper waiting there, I gave away what I could give And still discovered wanting somewhere. I've had friends who felt like brothers, I've had brothers turn away, I've been grateful for the love I've found And angry on the same day. Chorus Here comes the sunlight, Here comes the shade, Here comes the promise And the price that we paid. One hand is reaching, One hand lets go, We're made of the things we understand And all the things we don't know. Verse 3 There's a face that loves you in the morning, There's a voice that makes you lose your way, There's a road you swear you'll never travel That somehow leads you there one day. We can build ourselves a kingdom Then complain about the walls, We can pray for independence While we're frightened when it calls. Bridge The sun doesn't curse the darkness, The moon doesn't envy day, They take their turns above us And neither has to stay. Maybe life's not meant for answers, Maybe opposites belong; The note that sounds the sweetest Can depend upon the wrong. Verse 4 I've been young and I've been older, I've been certain, I've been lost, I've called something love and later learned Exactly what that love had cost. I've chased the truth through many doors, Found pieces on the floor, And every time I thought I knew myself I found another self once more. Final Chorus Here comes the sunlight, Here comes the shade, Here comes the laughter And the tears that we made. One heart is breaking, One heart says, “Go,” We're made of every contradiction That we carry as we grow. Outro Here comes the daylight... Here comes the night... Neither one is wrong, Neither one is right. Here comes the sunlight... Here comes the moon... And somewhere between them We become ourselves. (Outro)
