There's a cruel sun beatin' where there once was a river |
|
Crops are bendin' in the heat but still her dark skin shivers |
|
When you move to the beat of hungry it's a slow achin' journey |
|
She'd hide but there ain't no shelter she'd cry but there ain't no pity yet |
|
The cool of the night reveals the spark of a sweeter life |
|
So she's dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white |
|
Dreamin' in color livin' in stone cold black and white |
|
Sittin' in a grey day leanin' on a bright new tomorrow |
|
Where some rainbow rules will make everything all right |
|
She ain't about to let the blues overcome her |
|
She'll contend with this day to day life |
|
She's just dreamin' in color livin' in black and white |
|
Well it's a gunshot dawn here in the heart of the city |
|
He slides closer to his mama it's months since they've seen daddy |
|
There's a pale light shinin' from a bare refrigerator |
|
By the stained cracked plaster by the cold radiator |
|
But he's sure out beyond these mean streets there lies paradise |
|
So he's dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white |
|
Dreamin' in color livin' in stone cold black and white |
|
Sittin' in a grey day leanin' on a bright new tomorrow |
|
Where some rainbow rules will make everything all right |
|
He ain't about to let the blues overcome him |
|
He'll contend with this day to day life |
|
He's just dreamin' in color livin' in black and white |
|
Dreamin' in color livin' in stone cold black and white |
|
Sittin' in a grey day leanin' on a bright new tomorrow |
|
Where some rainbow rules will make everything all right |
|
They ain't about to let the blues overcome them |
|
They'll contend with this day to day life |
|
They're just dreamin' in color livin' in black and white |
|
They're just dreamin' in color livin' in black and white |
|
Dreamin' in color livin' in black and white |
|
Dreamin' in color livin' in black and white |
|
Dreamin' in color livin' in black and white |
