I USED TO SEE THE WORLD IN BLACK AND WHITE

I USED TO SEE THE WORLD IN BLACK AND WHITE

Verse 1:

Once upon a time, I used to see

The world in black and white, with no in-between

Two powers ruled my every thought

God and the Devil, the good and the not

Chorus:

But now I see, the truth so clear

Life's not so simple, there's much to hear

My eyes now open, to a brand new view

The world's much bigger, and it's up to you

Verse 2:

I used to see shadows, where there was light

I judged and condemned, without a second sight

But life experience has taught me true

There's no good or evil, just different views

Chorus:

But now I see, the truth so clear

Life's not so simple, there's much to hear

My eyes now open, to a brand new view

The world's much bigger, and it's up to you

Bridge:

Life's not black or white, but a rainbow of hues

Verse 1:

I used to see the world in black and white

The concept of two powers brought me light

God and the Devil, good and evil

All that existed, or so I believed

Chorus:

But as I've grown, I've seen the truth

Life's not just black or white, but a rainbow of hues

My previous beliefs, now simply relics

Of a time when I couldn't see beyond the semantics

Verse 2:

I thought everything had to fit in a box

The good, the bad, the false, the talks

I was blinded by a narrow view

Of what was true, and what was not true

Chorus:

But as I've grown, I've seen the truth

Life's not just black or white, but a rainbow of hues

My previous beliefs, now simply relics

Of a time when I couldn't see beyond the semantics

Bridge:

It's up to you, to see what's true

Don't rely on what they tell you

Verse 1:

I used to think there were two sides

God and the Devil, where good and evil reside

I saw the world in black and white

Everything was either wrong or right

Chorus:

But, oh, how blind I used to be

Couldn't see beyond the semantics, you see

Now I know there's more to life

It's not just about who's wrong or right

Verse 2:

As I've grown and experienced more

I've come to realize what I believed before

Was just a simplified view of life

The world is full of grey, not just black and white

Chorus:

But, oh, how blind I used to be

Couldn't see beyond the semantics, you see

Now I know there's more to life

It's not just about who's wrong or right

Bridge:

It's up to you, to see what's true

Don't rely on what they tellyou 

Open your eyes wide, and let your heart decide

The truth is out there, waiting to be found

Verse 1: 

I used to see the world in black and white 

Everything was either wrong or right 

A binary lens through which I viewed 

The good, the bad, the false, the true 

Chorus: 

But now I know that life is more than that 

The shades of grey, the in-betweens, where truth is found 

It's not just heaven or hell, darkness or light 

There's more to life than what we see in sight 

Verse 2: 

I used to believe in God and the Devil 

The eternal battle of good and evil 

But now I see that it's not that simple 

A world of nuance, not just black and white symbols 

Chorus: 

But now I know that life is more than that 

The shades of grey, the in-betweens, where truth isfound

Once upon a time, I saw the world in black and white

Two powers, Good and Evil, was my belief and my delight

Everything was either one or the other, no shades of gray in sight

But as I've grown and lived my life, I've come to see the light

There's more to life than just two powers, more than just two sides

The in-betweens are where truth lies, where beauty and truth collide

I used to think that everything was either wrong or right

But now I see the nuances, the subtleties that shine so bright

Life is a canvas painted with the colors of every hue

The shades of gray and in-betweens reveal the world anew

It's not just black or white, but every color in between

A beautiful tapestry of life, a mesmerizing scene

So let go of the concept of two powers, embrace the in-betweens

Discover the beauty of theunseen

Verse 1:

I used to see the world in black and white

Believed in forces of wrong and right

But as I live and breathe each day

The shades of gray have found their way

Chorus:

I let go of dualities

Embrace the beauty of in-betweens

No longer blinded by black or white

I see the world in a brand new light

Verse 2:

I used to pray to God and fear the devil

But now I find peace within the middle

The beauty of both light and dark

Allows me to leave behind the stark

Chorus:

I let go of dualities

Embrace the beauty of in-betweens

No longer blinded by black or white

I see the world in a brand new light

Bridge:

I see it all with open eyes

The beauty in each surprise

No longer trapped within a box

I roam free with each tick-tock

Chorus:

I let go of the idea of two powers

As I journey through this life's hours

Seeing beyond black and white

Discovering colors that make life bright

I used to believe in the battle of good versus evil

But now I see that everything is more complex and equal

Life is full of nuances and shades of gray

It's up to us to find our own way

Chorus: 

I let go of the idea of two powers

As I journey through this life's hours

Seeing beyond black and white

Discovering colors that make life bright

The world isn't simply divided into right or wrong

It's a beautiful mess of experiences that help us grow strong

I embrace the uncertainty of what lies ahead

And treasure the lessons I learn instead

Chorus: 

I let go of the idea of two powers

As I journey through this life's hours

Seeing beyond black and white

Discovering colors that make life bright

Life isn't always easy, but it's worth the fight

I used to see the world in black and white

With only good and evil in my sight

But as I've grown and learned to see

There's more to life than just what I perceive

I used to think there were two powers

God and the Devil, ruling hours

But now I see there's more to the story

Life is full of shades of glory

The colors of the world are many

Each one unique and varied plenty

I used to see things in a narrow way

But now I'm open to what others say

Life isn't just about the destination

It's about the journey and the exploration

Learning new things and expanding our view

Discovering the colors that make life anew

So let us take off our black and white shades

And embrace the colors that life displays

For there is beauty in every hue

And it's up to us to see it through.
