about

"The Light and the Dark" is about the dialectic - that two seemingly opposite states or ideas can be true at the same time. It's also a love song.

lyrics

I'll live with something a long time
Before I make a decision
Sometimes judgements need never be made
If you look at a tree in summer

Its leaves like shoals, shimmer bright green
August's spirit dances on the breeze
And further down the line, nothing will confine
January and the rain

A body can be moving and stationary at the same time
Depending where you're looking from
Everything drowns in darkness
And is nourished in the light of the sun

You don't need to be impatient for a change to come
It's in the nature of the seasons and the sun
Now you might be down, soon you'll be having fun
And the light and the dark is everyone

You've lived with pain for a long time
I'm glad you've not given up
I hope this song's a lifeline
Because you are truly loved

'til you come back, I'll wait for you
I know some days I'll feel so blue
A stormy breeze can carry a wild joy too
Under this rainbow's reign

A body can be moving and stationary at the same time
Depending where you're looking from
Everything drowns in darkness
And is nourished in the light of the sun

You don't need to be impatient for a change to come
It's in the nature of the seasons and the sun
Now you might be down, soon you'll be having fun
And the light and the dark is everyone

[Bridge]

You don't need to be impatient for a change to come
It's in the nature of the seasons and the sun
Now you might be down, soon you'll be having fun
And the light and the dark is everyone
