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
 the beauty of gray
 look into your eyes
 no daylight
 new day now
