Sadness and Joy

I've never seen

Anything so beautiful and so serene

Yet filled with so much darkness that I understand

There are two sides of the same coin

It's sadness and it's joy

Right?

I never knew

That I would find someone who sees the things I do

As really beautiful and meaningful and brand new

But you understand it's not a choice

It's sadness and it's joy

It's sadness and it's joy

It's sadness and it's joy

How do you do all of this with these hands?

With these hands

I'll never truly begin to understand

But I do know that it's sadness and it's joy, it's light and then it's dark

It's Christmas morning down the stairs, it's waiting for a spark

It's low and then it's high, it's good inside the bad

It's loving when it's hard to love, and laughing when it's sad

It's fighting then making up and fighting all again

And making love and babies

Raising hell and then heaven

It's sadness and it's joy

Sadness and it's joy

Sadness

Sadness and it's joy
