Life ain't black and white, nah, it's shades of gray
People stuck in extremes, just wasting away
If we'd meet in the middle, find that softer shade
Maybe we'd fix the mess that's been made
Why's it always got to be one side or the next?
Lines so sharp, we're drawing them deep in our chests
We got battles on battles, opinions in chains
Fighting like soldiers, all drenched in disdain
But life don't work like that, no perfect lines
It's messy and blurry, in the spaces it finds
There's truths in the middle, not left or right
Colors we can't see in black or white
So let's walk in the gray, where the answers hide
Where it's okay to be wrong, and both can try
To find some common ground, let the walls decay
Life is richer when we live in shades of gray
You got beliefs, yeah, I got mine too
But can we sit and talk, without breaking the truth?
They tell us we're enemies, but that's the lie
Divide and conquer, it's their favorite prize
But it's not about winning, not about pride
We all got battles that we try to hide
So why not bridge it, build from the blend?
We're more alike than we're different in the end
So let's walk in the gray, where the answers hide
Where it's okay to be wrong, and both can try
To find some common ground, let the walls decay
Life is richer when we live in shades of gray
We're blinded by labels, boxed up tight
In our own little corners, afraid of the light
But what if the truth isn't here or there?
What if it's everywhere, floating in air?
See, the world's way bigger than you versus me
There's beauty in difference, if we just let it be
We're missing the hues in our black-and-white war
Let's paint with some colors, open up the door
Step into the gray, see what we find
Space for the heart, room for the mind
Take off the armor, come as you are
Together we're stronger, brighter by far
So let's walk in the gray, where the answers hide
Where it's okay to be wrong, and both can try
To find some common ground, let the walls decay
Life is richer when we live in shades of gray
Life ain't black and white, nah, it's shades of gray
If we'd meet in the middle, maybe we'd find a way
