Would a life void of pleasure
Be void of pain
If there was no loss
Would there be gain
The world always balanced well
There is a heaven
And there is a hell
But what is left in-between
If one became naught
By answers they sought
Would the air thicken
Would your breath quicken
If there was no light
If there was no dark
If there was no night
If there was no spark
Would lovers collide
Would life be a ride
With no ups and downs
No smiles or frowns
If life was the same
If there were no games
Could you survive
Would you try to thrive
If there were no rules
Not one you could break
Would there be plans
And troubles to make
If you could live
Or if you would die
You take and you give
You laugh and you cry
But if there was no change
No normal or strange
Could you even exist
With this simple twist
