Gotta Be Wrong To Be Right (J. Fisher, J. Vega)

Almost all her life
She’d cling to a man, hope someday to be his wife
She’d sacrifice her dreams
For a pocket full of wishes with a hole in the seam
But now her man has gone
She clings to herself, does her best to carry on
All that time alone
Only changed her state of mind, helped her make it on her own

You gotta be wrong to be right
You gotta have faith throughout the fight
Sometimes we’re blinded by the night
So we can recognize the light

He told his friends goodbye
For a foolish dream that turned out to be a lie
And a marquis made of gold
Just tarnished like old brass once the dream was bought and sold
Now he spends his time
Trying to find himself, spin these troubles into rhyme
And though he’s barely getting by
He finally realized that all he needed was inside

You gotta be wrong to be right
You gotta have faith throughout the fight
Sometimes we’re blinded by the night
So we can recognize the light

In the dark, they learned to utilize the light within their eyes
Two separate lives that intertwined, when, broken, left to thrive
So suddenly their suffering made sense of all their shame
When, fumbling, they found someone whose soul was just the same 

You gotta be wrong to be right
You gotta have faith throughout the fight
Sometimes we’re blinded by the night
So we can recognize the light
