INTRO: (4X) 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 the colors must swirl And I believe that maybe today We will all get to appreciate The beauty of gray 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 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 We will all get to appreciate The beauty of gray The beauty of gray The beauty of gray The beauty of gray () ------------------ ------------ ------------------ -------3__-- ---2---2---------- ------------ --2---0----------- ------------ -3---2---0__------ -3---------- ------------------ ----3------- Repeat 7x: 4 without vocals, 8th time, then 3 with each phrase below to Verse Look into your eyes No daylight New day now 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 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 The beauty of gray The beauty of gray The beauty of gray (fade out)
