Sorrow

It feels like falling, it feels like rain
 Like losing my balance again and again
 It once was so easy; breathe in, breathe out
 But at the foot of this mountain, I only see clouds
 I feel out of focus, or at least indisposed
 As this strange weather pattern inside me takes hold
 Each brave step forward, I take three steps behind
 It's mind over matter, matter over mind
 Slowly, then all at once
 A single loose thread and it all comes undone
 ♪
 Where there is light, a shadow appears
 The cause and effect when life interferes
 The same rule applies to goodness and grief
 For in our great sorrow, we learn what joy means
 ♪
 (I don't want to fight, I don't want to fight it)
 (I don't want to fight, I don't want to fight it)
 (I don't want to fight, I don't want to fight it)
 (But I will learn to fight, I will learn to fight)
 'Til this pendulum finds equilibrium
 ♪
 Slowly, then all at once
 The dark clouds depart, and the damage is done
 So pardon the dust while this all settles in
 With a broken heart, transformation begins
