Sturg and Friends - Ups and Downs

I've seen mountain tops and I've hit rock bottom
I've loved and I've lost
I've watched relationships blossom
I've had everything and I've had nothing at all
There have been times when I've been left to sit with my thoughts
These nights can be lonely and that is no lie
Sometimes I can't fight my feelings inside
But when I step back, I start to see that all of these emotions are a part of me
Yeah, I feel them for a reason and there ain't no point in leading myself down destructive ways of the past
No, I've learned to let go and let the new ways take hold
Find beauty in the balance and relax
There will be ups and there will be downs but it takes both to make it so astounding
This experience we share and the love that we bear
It's what keeps our hearts pounding

If we didn't have a light would we know the dark
If there were no suffering would there be a spark to change what you do
Change who you are
To get up take action and make a start at doing what you love
Following your dreams
Listening to your heart and setting yourself free

For so long I feared being alone
Not having a home and wondering what I would do on my own
With all that I felt I didn't trust myself
And ultimately, I created my own hell
I trapped myself in cycles cause I couldn't let go
I was searching for validation and depriving myself of hope
Then one day it clicked
I need to use my gift
Stop searching for this pleasure and get on a different kick
When benefiting the ego is the only gain
In the end you're sure to only find pain
But when you align your heart and mind you'll find that you're right on time
It may sound obscene but there's an in between of your love and your fear if you stay right here
Learn to let go, let your life unfold, see what will appear when your vision is clear

If we didn't have a light would we know the dark
If there were no suffering would there be a spark to change what you do
Change who you are
To get up take action and make a start at doing what you love
Following your dreams
Listening to your heart and setting yourself free

If I have any advice, it's to go and live your life
Don't worry about what they say
Just take it all in stride
Everything is temporary
Nothing will stay the same
So be kind
Live life your way

If we didn't have a light would we know the dark
If there were no suffering would there be a spark to change what you do
Change who you are
To get up take action and make a start at doing what you love
Following your dreams
Listening to your heart and setting yourself free
