A sunny day

Something we all dream of

The sun on our back

With its warm glow

Why would anyone

Pick anywhere else to go?

 

Because it is not all that it seems

We are not looking at what’s in-between

I like the sun because its not in the shade

And I like the shade because its not in the sun

 

Wait!

That sounds oppositional

And it ain’t like that

 

The first warm of year and I wanna be in the sun

But, by mid-summer, I long for the shade

At night, we play in the light because it feels safe

But we do what we really want in the dark because…well, I don’t know

 

It’s all about shadow and light

Whether outer world or not

We want the other one

Just when it feels right

 

When I am with people

Laughing and positive

I want to go to the shadows

Where the freedom is relative

 

When I am feeling blue

And down in the dumps

I want those happy, pretty people

To help me over the humps

 

I guess what I’m saying is

That we need shadow and light

One to hide the darkness

The other to hide the light

 

Its all like a sunny day

The brighter the light

The darker the shadow

And that’s when it is right

Whether day or night
