If all you are doing is searching for treasure
In the journey of your life
You will never know of the pleasure
Till you first know of the strife

For what good is knowing pleasure
If you first don't know the pain
To use as the cup of measure
Showing how much you have gained

So take it with a grain of salt
That is when you will find
A gratitude that you've gone through
The pain that brought the pleasure to life
