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 colours must swirl And I believe That maybe today We will all get to appreciate The Beauty of Grey If I told you 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 we 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 The beauty of gray Look into your eyes No daylight New day now
