Title: Shades o' Grey

A child could play. It was easy then ta' tell right frae wrong.

Easy then ta' tell weak frae strong.

When a man should stand and fight,

O' just go along.

But today there isna day o' night

Today there isna dark o' light.

Today there isna black o' white,

Only shades of grey ...

I remember when tha' answers seemed so clear

We hae ne'er lived wi' doubt o' tasted fear.

It was easy then ta' tell truth from lies

Selling oot frae compromise

Who ta' love an' who ta' hate,

Tha' foolish frae tha' wise.

But today there isna day o' night

Today there isna dark o' light.

Today there isna black o' white,

Only shades of grey ...

It was easy then ta ken wha' was fair

When ta' keep an' when ta' share.

Hae much ta' protect yuir heart

An' hae much ta care.

But today there isna day o' night

Today there isna dark o' light.

Today there isna black o' white

Only shades of gray
