lyrics

There is a dark side and a light side and it
Binds the universe together.
Rebels knew the power of the force
It let them do amazing things.
See through other eyes
Be a bit more wise
Rise above their size.
So there is Ben, as you begin the race
And there is dad, just tumbling through space.
There is a dark side and a light side and it
Binds the universe together.

Duct tape is a many-splendored thing
It has a million uses.
Anything that's broke, just ordinary folk
Have fixes rarely spoken of.
So there is glue, to stop things breaking free.
It sits on tape, to combat entropy
It has a dark side and light side and it
Binds the universe together.

Love is very rarely found
It's everywhere around us now.
Anywhere you go most anyone you know
Has sides they seldom show.
And I have life - each precious bit of time
And I have hope that you belong in mine.
It has a dark side and a light side and it
Binds the universe together.
Love has a dark side and a light side and it
Binds the universe together
Bind my universe together.
