Opposites

What does it take to make a man?
One tiny seed, a universal plan
What does it mean to be complete
And become who we want to be?
Shadow and light, sunshine and rain
Opposites though, are often quite the same
What does it take to be at peace
And to know we are all the same
Part of a universal game, the same

Opposites, what can I say, what can I do?
I say black, I know you'll say white just to prove
That we never ever see the same on anything we do
Opposites, what can we say, what can we do?
Why resist, when either side will only lose?
And we know we'll never ever be the same way anymore, no more
[Post-Chorus: Yosef Wolde-Mariam & (Akin Yai)
Tell me, uh, uh
Two different views (views), two different ways (ways)
It's so exciting when our differences engage (engage)
We flip to another page and stay for a while
It's amazing how we play like childs (uh-huh)
Even though we know this here may only be for now
But ain't that stupid? (uh-huh)
We ain't asked to get shot down by Cupid
It just happened, it's just fate (fate)
It's just love (love), it's just passion (passion)
It's just you (you), just me, making it happen (happen)

Two different views, two different ways
Exciting when our differences engage
We compromise, remediate
Learn to mend things before it's late
'Cause we know that we're all the same, the same

Opposites, what can I say, what can I do? (What can I do?)
I say black, I know you'll say white just to prove
And we never, ever see the same on anything we do
Opposites, what can we say, what can we do? (What can we do?)
Why resist when either side can really choose?
And we never ever ever feel the same way anymore, anymore
Opposites, what can I say, what can I do?
And we never ever feel the same on anything we do
[Post-Chorus: Yosef Wolde-Mariam & (Akin Yai)
Tell me, uh, uh
Two different views (views), two different ways (ways)
It's so exciting when our differences engage (engage)
We flip to another page and stay for a while
It's amazing how we play like childs (uh-huh)
Even though we know this here may only be for now
But ain't that stupid? (uh-huh)
We ain't asked to get shot down by Cupid
It just happened, it's just fate (fate)
It's just love (love), it's just passion (passion)
It's just you (you), just me, making it happen (happen)
