There's another side to everything
Connected like the ring around your finger
And I know this like I know myself,
Not very well, yet I'm no stranger
But it won't be long, I see both sides now
When nothing's gained, then something's lost
Pay half the price at twice the cost
We're crystallized, we stand alone
Conviction holds us like a stone
I know it won't be long, 'cause I see both sides now

We got to learn how to listen, before we learn to talk
We got to learn how to crawl, befor we learn to walk
If you want a little peace, sometimes you got to fight
We got to walk through the darkness
Before we stand in the light
But I know it won't be long, I see both sides now

We're always somewhere in between
We never taste, the sweet extreme
We're crystallized, we stand alone
Conviction holds us like a stone
I know it won't be long, I see both sides now

We got to learn how to listen, before we learn to talk
You got to learn to crawl, before you learn to walk
If you want a little peace, sometimes you got to fight
You've got to walk through the darkness
Before you stand in the light
I know it won't be long
I see both sides now
Both sides now
