PARADOX

There are things you cannot know
until they're real because they've happened
There are things that you will see (eventually)
Because they're simply meant to be

There'll be times when you will wonder
about the meaning of this world
You'll be clutching for the answers
until time reveals it all

It's such a paradox, accept it, embrace it
There's no need to comprehend it
It's such a paradox, accept it
just the way it is

In the twilight of confusion
and the uncertainty you feel
with problems piling up around you
as they bring you to your knees

There'll be pain and there'll be suffering
and in the midst of all the bliss
there'll be hard times, there'll be bad times
But, my friend, just see it for what it is

It's such a paradox, accept it, embrace it
There's no need to comprehend it
It's such a paradox, accept it
just the way it is

It's your choice to take the lessons
life will leave upon your door
as a multitude of blessings
but your knowing would compromise it all

It's such a paradox, accept it, embrace it
There's no need to comprehend it
It's such a paradox, accept it
just the way it is

It's such a paradox, receive it, believe it
And you don't have to understand it
It's such a paradox, receive it
It's a gift from you to you
