A World of Gray


You have to see the wrong side,

Before you see the right

You have to see the black side,

Before you see the white

You have to know the darkness,

To tell it from the light

And you have to walk through the day,

So you appreciate the night.

 

But the future isn’t

Black or white

And the past is never

Wrong or right

The present loves the

Day and night

And knows the darkness

And the light.
