Light seems to shine brightest through tears And color's most vibrant after storms Joy is only felt because sadness is known And something new replaces only something worn The beauty in sorrow is not always seen So we avoid any kind of lament But melancholy is mesmeric and somberness shimmers in the dark It's the misery and grief we resent Remember this when your heart becomes an anchor There is great beauty in sorrow, in solitude, in pain Watery eyes and broken souls aren't ugly For you can't have a rainbow without the rain
