In this song, Michael and Lisa explore the idea of paradox and tension. Like the theory of Yin and Yang, they find meaning in both the lightness and the darkness, seeing how one cannot exist without the other. Ultimately, both sides of the coin must be accepted to find wholeness.
[Verse 1: Lisa Gungor]
Everything is lovely
Everything is bright
Everything is here because of glorious design
Everything becoming
Our salvation nigh
You and I
We will survive
[Verse 2: Michael Gungor]
Everything is broken
Everything is pain
Everything is dark and pointless
What is there to say?
Everything is empty
Everything will die
You and I
[Chorus]
See the night
See the sunrise
See the love
See the heartbreak
You and I
We will be all right
[Verse 3: Michael Gungor]
Look at all the starving
Look at all the war
How we cut the world to pieces
Tearing us apart
[Verse 4: Lisa Gungor]
Look at all the mothers
Babies in their arms
Look at how they give their bodies just to keep them warm
Every life is taken
(Every death is given)
From another's death
(For another life)
Every breath the gift of life
[Chorus]
See the night
See the sunrise
See the love
See the heartbreak
You and I
We will be all right
[Chorus]
See the night
See the sunrise
See the love
See the heartbreak
You and I
We will be all right
[Outro]
You and I
We will be all right
