Do I sound just like a madman (if I told you)
Glass not empty and not full?
Would you think I was a bad man (if I said that)
You are a wise one and a fool?
There must be darkness before light
There must be stillness before flight
There is no hope without despair
There must be balance everywhere
Without a yang there is no yin
We need to balance everything
To make a life with no extremes
Where realism matches dreams
Does it sound like talking no sense (if I tell you)
That past and future are the same?
Do you think it's just a pretence (if I say that)
Ice can burn you like a flame?
There must be night before the day
You cannot leave until you've stayed
There is no fiction without fact
To balance, opposites attract
Without a yang there is no yin
We need to balance everything
To make true equilibrium
To match the scales until they're done
There must be storms after the calm
Prepare for battle, then disarm
Be agitated then serene
You can't get dirty unless clean
Does it sound like contradiction (if I say that)
Every circle needs two sides?
Do you think it's just a fiction (if I tell you)
There's two directions to the tides?
You take the yin then add the yang
The Universe's master plan
No choice of sides within the Force
You need them both to plot its course
There must be darkness before light
There must be stillness before flight
There is no hope without despair
There must be balance everywhere
