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 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 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
It's not a black and white world
To be alive, I say that 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 that 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
The beauty of gray, God
The beauty of gray now
The beauty of gray
The beauty of gray now
The beauty of gray
