Ups and Downs

All that I've found through the ups and downs
 Is that I'd have it no other way
 Life in the raw is both fragile and strong
 It's both lovely and ugly the same
 Who can attest that when they're at their best
 Oh their worst is still crouching close behind
 It's coming to peace with the darkness in me
 That allows the true light to shine inside
 So let it go, for we are still far from home
 Though you try and try to escape
 To live and to love will always be dangerous
 But it's better than playing it safe
 We are composed of a symphony of notes
 Every life is as music to His ears
 I'll play my melody be it haunting be it sweet
 Unashamed of what anyone might hear
 So when the load breaks your back and your will
 You must still keep your heart in the game
 To live and to love will always be dangerous
 But it's better than playing it safe
 So let it go, when it don't feel like home
 When inside is your only escape
 To live and to love will always be dangerous
 But would you want it any other way?
