Shades of grey

Some things were perfectly clear, seen with the vision of youth No doubts and nothing to fear, I claimed the corner on truth These days it's harder to say I know what I'm fighting for My faith is falling away I'm not that sure anymore Shades of grey wherever I go The more I find out the less that I know Black and white is how it should be But shades of grey are the colors I see Once there were trenches and walls and one point of every view Fight 'til the other man falls - kill him before he kills you These days the edges are blurred, I'm old and tired of war I hear the other man's words I'm not that sure anymore Shades of grey are all that I find When I look to the enemy line Black and white was so easy for me But shades of grey are the colors I see Now with the wisdom of years, I try to reason things out And the only people I fear are those who never have doubts Save us all from arrogant men, and all the causes they're for I won't be righteous again I'm not that sure anymore Shades of grey are all that I find When I look to the enemy line Ain't no rainbows shining on me Shades of grey are the colors I see Shades of grey wherever I go The more I find out the less that I know Ain't no rainbows shining on me Shades of grey are the colors I see
