These days it's harder to say I know what I'm fighting for. My faith is falling away, I'm not that sure anymore. Shades of grey wherever I go; The more I find out the less I know. Black and white is how it should be, But shades of grey are the colors I see. Once there were trenches and walls and one point of every view. Fight 'til the other man falls- Kill him before he kills you. These days the edges are blurred, I'm old and tired of war. I hear the other man's words I'm not the same anymore. Shades of grey are all that I find When I come to the enemy line. Black and white was so easy for me But shades of grey are the colors I see. Now with the wisdom of years I try to reason things out, And the only people I fear Are those who never have doubts. Save us all from arrogant men And all the causes they're for, I won't be righteous again. I'm not that sure anymore. Shades of grey wherever I go The more I find out the less that I know. Ain't no rainbows shining on me, Shades of grey are the colors I see. In "River of Dreams" album, about ten years ago, which I don't have. Given to me as a poem; no idea of the tune. Anyone? |
