High's and lows of a precious commodity
this precious, precious thing
         how light it is
         how heavy it can be

         how forgiving it is
         how horrible it can be

this precious, precious thing
         how dark it is
         how hard it can be

         how joyful it is
         how dreadful it can be

this precious, precious thing
         how beautiful it is
         how ugly it can be

you wonder what it might be

for it is life

life of our world
         the animals
                   the plants
                             the people

cannot have beauty without tragedy

cannot have success without failure

         this precious, precious thing
