When the world and I were young,
Just yesterday.
Life was such a simple game,
A child could play.
It was easier than to tell right from wrong,
Easier than to tell weak from strong.
When a man should stand and fight,
Or just go along.
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.
I remember when the answer
Seemed so clear.
We had never lived without
Or tasted fear.
It was easier than to tell truth from lies,
Selling out from compromise.
Who to love and who to hate,
The foolish from the wise.
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.
It was easier than to know what was fair,
When to keep and when to share.
How much to protect your heart,
And how much to care.
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.
Only shades of gray.
