The Beauty of Gray

if I told you he was your brother

we could reminisce

then you would go about your day

if I said you ought to give him

some of your water

you'd shake your canteen and walk away

the perception that divides you from him

is a lie

for some reason you never asked why

this is not a black and white world

you can't afford to believe in your side

this is not a black and white world

to be alive

I say that the colors must swirl

and I believe

that maybe today

we will all get to appreciate

the beauty of gray

if I told you that she was your mother

we could analyse the situation and be gone

if i said you ought to give her

some of your water

your eyes would light up like the dawn

the perception that divides you from her

is a lie

for some reason you never asked why

this is not a black and white world

you can't afford to believe in your side

this is not a black and white world

to be alive

I say the colors must swirl

and I believe

that maybe today

we will all get to appreciate

Yes we will all get to appreciate

the beauty of gray

the beauty of gray now

the beauty of gray

the beauty of gray now

look into your eyes

no daylight

new day now

its not a black and white world

to be alive

I say the colors must swirl

and I believe

that maybe today

we will appreciate the beauty of gray

this is not a black and white world

to be alive

I say the colors must swirl

and I believe

that maybe today

we will all get to appreciate

Yes we will all get to appreciate

the beauty of gray

the beauty of gray now (x 4 fades out)
