Lifes Not Just Black and White

“I’ll take my place, and stand my ground
I’ll fight and fight ‘till you ‘come ‘round
Always black and white
My way always right” …
Perhaps a gray path can be found?

Why is it we can’t find a way
When troubles flair, opinions stray
Let’s bend a little
Meet in the middle
Make plans to live another day.

You see, life’s not just black and white
Always our way, tho try we might
Like a mighty tree
Must bend you see
To remain standing thru the night.

Each branch is strong, stands on its own
But you know it can’t stand alone
It’s part of a whole
Let this be your goal…
Bending is how nations are grown!
