Shades
Let it go
You’re only hurting yourself more
When you hold onto
The things that hurt you before.
The warm sunlight shines on me
Yet I still feel cold
Sometimes I question my worth
Is there some purpose for which I serve?
I’m always told to just believe
Yet I have no hope.
Don’t fear the night
It’s only ignorance giving you that fear
I’ll make your days feel bright
Don’t you worry, I’m here
Just open your eyes
And see the pure beauty all around
It’s really quite a sight
Then comes along the sound.
I take a deep breath
And I listen to the sounds around me
As I open my senses
I realize there’s more than I see.
Whether it’s day or night
There’s never a solid answer
How can there be a wrong or right?
When we’re rotten through with cancer.
You see the world as black or white
I see the world in shades of grey
For you there’s only wrong or right
But I think that it’s naive to say
That evil only comes out at night.
You’re only hurting yourself more
When you hold onto
The things that hurt you before.
The warm sunlight shines on me
Yet I still feel cold
Sometimes I question my worth
Is there some purpose for which I serve?
I’m always told to just believe
Yet I have no hope.
Don’t fear the night
It’s only ignorance giving you that fear
I’ll make your days feel bright
Don’t you worry, I’m here
Just open your eyes
And see the pure beauty all around
It’s really quite a sight
Then comes along the sound.
I take a deep breath
And I listen to the sounds around me
As I open my senses
I realize there’s more than I see.
Whether it’s day or night
There’s never a solid answer
How can there be a wrong or right?
When we’re rotten through with cancer.
You see the world as black or white
I see the world in shades of grey
For you there’s only wrong or right
But I think that it’s naive to say
That evil only comes out at night.
