World Of Grey - Oscar Brown, Jr.

Written by：O. Brown/Jr

When I was a lad simple notions I had

There was wrong there was right

It was plain as black and white

Ah but now I'm grown in a world on my own

The scenes I survey show nothing but grey

The sun doesn't shine down on my street

The sky look as heavy as lid

The grass blends right to the concrete

Since I woke up one day

To discover a world full of grey

I looked around for the bright spots

The lights that would lead me ahead

I must not have looked in the right spots

Nothing bright nothing gay

Just a muddy old world full of grey

When I was a child

I thought day fortune smile

Life became a parade

And a man had it mate

Ah but now I'm a man

And at crossroads I stand

Confronted with doubt

And all turned about

At night in my sleep I hear voices

I'm never quite certain what's said

They offer me too many choices

There's no black there's no white

Where is wrong where is right

I'm confused and unable to say

How does a man find his way

In a world full of grey
