Sweetness and Light

It's not easy pulling music from the noise
You walk among the mud with dignity and poise
And when the sadness finds its way into your heart
All the sweetness in life begins its flowing
Weaving miracles like bright sweetening spells before your eyes

Past is heavy like a deep and silent sea
In your summer it appears to hold the key
And when nostalgia finds its way into your heart
All the sweetness in life begins its flowing
Throwing a light upon the water as you map the ocean floor

And in the quiet centre
Where the light begins to shine
It's only there that you can
Beat the darkness every time
Oh, it's a kind of happy
Oh, it's the best you'll ever know
You draw upon it every day
