World Full of Grey Lyrics

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 that 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?
