Shades of Gray

[Verse 1] When the world and I were young Just yesterday Life was such a simple game A child could play [Pre-Chorus] It was easy then to tell right from wrong Easy then to tell weak from strong When a man should stand and fight Or just go along [Chorus] But today there is no day or night Today there is no dark or light Today there is no black or white Only shades of gray [Verse 2] I remember when The answers seemed so clear We had never lived with doubt Or tasted fear [Pre-Chorus] It was easy then to tell truth from lies Selling out from compromise Who to love and who to hate The foolish from the wise [Chorus] But today there is no day or night Today there is no dark or light Today there is no black or white Only shades of gray [Instrumental Break] [Pre-Chorus] It was easy then to know what was fair When to keep and when to share How much to protect your heart And how much to care [Chorus] But today there is no day or night Today there is no dark or light Today there is no black or white Only shades of gray [Outro] Only shades of gray
