Analysis of And Still The Sun Will Rise



Life will have days that you will wish to revise
Things said or done will fill you with compromise
Decisions over which you will agonize
And still, the sun will rise

At times others will seek to antagonize
Nights filled with anger will certainly arise
And sometimes, your reflection, you will despise
And still, the sun will rise

There will be hard days with long heartfelt goodbyes
When all we can still do is but eulogize
Leaving those left with love but still tearful eyes
And still, the sun will rise

There will always be dark nights with cloudy skies
But so to can these things teach us to be wise
And things, as is their way, will yet harmonize
Finding new joys, as well as new, true allies
As life will go on with its new lows and highs
And still, the sun will rise
