both sides now lyrics

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 is 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

Oh yeah, I know it won't be long, 'cause I see both sides now

Yeah, we gotta learn how to listen, before we learn to talk
We gotta learn to crawl, before we learn to walk
And if you want a little peace, sometimes you gotta fight
We gotta walk through the darkness, before we stand in the light

Oh yeah, I know it won't be long, I see both sides now

We're always somewhere in between
We never taste the sweet extreme
And we're crystallized, we stand alone
Conviction holds us like a stone

I know it won't be long, I see both sides now

Well, we gotta learn how to listen, before we learn to talk
You've gotta learn to crawl, before you learn to walk
If you want a little peace, well, sometimes you gotta fight
You've gotta walk through the darkness, before you stand in the light

Oh yeah, but I know it won't be long, I see both sides now

Come on

Well, we gotta learn how to listen, before we learn to talk
You've gotta learn to crawl, before you learn to walk
And if you want a little peace, well, sometimes you gotta fight
You've gotta walk through the darkness, before you stand in the light

Oh yeah, I know it won't be long, I see both sides now

Both sides now, both sides now, both sides now
Both sides now, both sides now, both sides now
