Fade Away

If the world was built of shades of gray,
Then colors become hazy,
Black and white become obscure,
And eyes would just get lazy.
They’d see no dark
They’d see no light
No bad, no good
No wondrous sight
If the world was built of shades of gray,
It would collapse, then fade away.

If the world was built of shades of gray,
No views would hold devotion.
Rainbow arcs would not appeal
To hearts without emotion.
They’d feel no hate
They’d feel no love
No woes or joy
No hope above
If the world was built of shades of gray,
It would collapse, then fade away.

If the world was built of shades of gray,
All colors become puddled,
Black and white are indistinct,
And minds would just get muddled.
There’d be no truths
There’d be no lies
No wrong or right
No thoughts inside
Emotionless
Desensitized
Humanity’s
Been sterilized
If the world was built of shades of gray,
It would collapse, then fade away.
