I have felt the cold that burns I have seen the light that blinds
I have known the truth of wisdom I could never understand
To be in a world of beauty surrounded by a sea of pain
To have felt the deepest sadness and one day found joy again
All the signs speak of a mystery, of the paradox of life
Pointing to a deeper meaning than appears to our first sight
Time and chance will touch each one of us as we go on our way
Yet all things happen for a reason and we will be satisfied one day.
