When the world and |
|
I were young |
|
Just yesterday |
|
Life was such a simple game |
|
A child could play |
|
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 |
|
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 answers |
|
Seemed so clear |
|
We had never lived with doubt |
|
Or tasted fear |
|
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 |
|
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 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 |
|
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 |
