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 that the colors must swirl
And I believe that maybe today
We will all get to appreciate
The beauty of gray

If I told you that 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

Look into your eyes
No daylight
New day now
