Black and White
I don't know how to tell you this
But the world isn't black and white
Look around, it's a world of colors
And i'm starting to see them tonight
Nobody sees it in quite the same way
But the world has shades of gray
I thought i knew how to handle this
But you don't see the greens or reds
And i'm seeing now in technicolor
From mountains to the thinnest threads
I don't know if you see it like me
But I've seen another way to be
At some point i think i'll get it right
But not if i do things like you
Look around at this world of colors
If you really tried, you might see the hue
My eyes are a mix of blue and gray
No, nobody sees things the same way
It's funny, the reality you live in
So simple... and yet so wrong
The world has never been black and white
Television merely strung us along
I don't know why it's become a fight
The world has never been black and white
