If I told you he was your brother
we could reminisce
Then you would go about your day
If I said you ought to give him
some of your water
You'd shake your canteen and walk away
The perception that divides you from him/her
is a lie
For some reason you never asked why
This is not a black and white world
You can't afford to believe in your side
This is not a black and white world
To be alive
I say the colors must swirl
And I believe
That maybe today
We will all get to appreciate
The beauty of gray
If I told you she was your mother
We could analyze the situation and be gone
