LIFE IS BOTH HERE AND THERE

life is dark here because is white there
I am today because you will tomorrow
I am short because you are tall
I am wrong because you are right
I am down because you are up
I am behind because you are in front
I am ugly because your handsome

life is dark here because is white there
You are the best because I chose to be dunderhead
you are successful because I chose to be a failed
you are strong because I chose to be weak
you are a leader because I chose to be your follower
you are an employer because I chose to be your employee

life is dark here because is white there
He listen because you talk
he offered because you ask for it
he die because you are born
he is going because you are coming
he is unhappy because you are happy
