Sunshine Needs Rain, Heartache Needs Pain
December 8, 2009
Sunshine needs rain,
as heartache needs pain.
As a child needs its mother,
as a widow needs her lover.
As peace needs the dove,
as hate needs some love.
As a son needs his father,
as a mother needs her daughter.
As the breeze needs the wind,
as a tree needs its limb.
As black needs white,
as the dark needs some light.
As a candle needs its flame,
as a window needs its pane.
As a meadow needs its flowers,
as April needs her showers.
As a singer needs his song
and as right needs wrong.
As black needs blue,
so do I need you.
