The world isn’t seen in black and white

There are too many shades of grey

You live under an illusion

So stupid in every way

There’s no happy, there’s no sad,

There’s everything in between

But you see it all through guarded eyes

You’re living in a dream

Snap back to reality

See the different shades

Take off the rose coloured glasses

And realise you’ve been played

You were told that no one’s perfect

That people live on the streets

You never cared, not once before

But now you can see you weep

These people are dying, abandoned and lost

They’ve been left out in the cold

And so dor a moment, a single moment

You put your life on hold

And say a prayer for all those people

The ones that live in fear

And down your cheek something rolls…

One more single, lonely tear.
