We would never appreciate sunshine if there was no rain
We would never experience happiness if we didn't know pain
We would never know love if we never felt some hate
We wouldn't need to rush if we all would sit and wait
We would never see the beauty of roses if we didnt see some weeds
We would never heal if we never had to bleed
We would never see the light if we were never in the dark
We would never appreciate love if someone didn't break our heart
We would never really live if we were so afraid to die
We would never have the answers if we didnt question "why"
We would never know loneliness if we never had a friend
We would never start all over if another chapter didn't end
We would never question God if we kept our strong faith
We would never feel trapped if we let our minds escape
We would never smile if we never hurt enough to cry
We would never say hello if we never said good bye
We would never have rainbows without a thunder storm
We would never understand death if we didnt give time to mourn
And we'll never feel true happiness if we don't let go of pain
Because you'll never see the sunshine if you can't get past the rain.
