Dark is Light

If the sun is the life force
That brings us all light
Feeds us with nutrients
Staves off the night
Then dark is right
Dark is light
Dark is right

If hiding in darkness
Keeps things pasty white
Reflecting what could be
Absorbed when it's bright
Then dark is right
Dark is light
Dark is right

If over the years
We have altered our sight
To believe that our paradise
Came after flight
Up where it's white
Up in the snow
Darker is right

If people are judged
By the hardship of plight
And history favors
The warriors fight
Then dark is right
Dark as night
Dark is right

If people are then judged
By if they're polite
And asked to take notice
Of both fork and knife
Then dark is strife
Shadowed by life
Dark is strife

And if we are to fix
How our thinking got tight
When we stopped taking notice
That different is bright
Ne'er will be right
All will be lost
White will be light
