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 awayThe 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 sideThis 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 grayIf I told you that she was your mother
We can analyze the situation and be gone
If I said, you ought to give her some of your water
Your eyes would light up like the dawnThe 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 sideThis 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, nowLook into your eyes
No daylight
New day nowIt's 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 grayThis 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, nowThe beauty of gray
The beauty of gray, now
The beauty of gray
The beauty of gray, now
