You have to write off the bad ones,
To know what’s truly great.
You have to know what passion is;
To understand your hate.
You have to hear the awful truth,
To comprehend a lie.
You have to be betrayed;
To know on whom you may rely.
You have to fail hard sometimes,
To know your own success.
You have to lose somebody close;
To love what you possess.
You have to doubt once in your life,
To know when you are sure.
You have to come within death’s grasp;
To know what you can endure.
