ONLY BLACK AND WHITE

ONLY BLACK AND WHITE It’s not the way the cards are dealt in our lives It’s not the game that runs the show Tt’s not the score that governs how we play it It’s more the luck, the luck of the draw There’s nothing we can do to change it There’s nothing known to make it follow through We try to influence the outcome But soon we see the painful truth Things happen, not always for a reason Fools govern, a fool in many seasons From the leaders, of those who don’t understand To those who would hurt with delight It’s not the fortune of our virtue To guide the time, or save the day So sad to realize, there’s no compassion The enemy cannot see gray, only black and white There’s nothing we can do to change it There’s nothing known to make it follow through We try to influence the outcome But soon we see the painful truth Things happen, not always for a reason Fools govern, a fool in many seasons From the leaders, of those who don’t understand To those who would hurt with delight It’s not the fortune of our virtue To guide the time, or save the day So sad to realize, there’s no compassion The enemy cannot see gray, only black and white
