Black: take 1

The room was in disarray
Lately he's been lazy
There was clothing strewn around the room
And a carpet of dust on the sill
One more thing he had to do

He was long since used
to the way his blinds didn't close.
And as the sun drew near
He pretended to dose.

Chorus:
Open your eyes to see
Open your eyes
That the world around you, has
More than one color to be

Open your eyes to see
Open your eyes
That the world around you
To be more than black

The house was empty
When he arose
He reached for his glasses, stumbled
To the room to wash up

He donned his tattered pair of jeans
Grabbed yesterday's sweatshirt
The sun outside was too bright for him
So he threw a pair of shades on too

Chorus

It would have been a step perhaps
In the right direction
For him to hate things in his world.
At least,if he were to do that
It was an emotion

But at each wall
In his path
He merely shrugged and sighed
It was just all to hard to try

Chorus

It was in the park one day
That he met her
She was a lot like him,
She understood

She said, I know what you're thinking
I know how you live
But that tree is green, the sun is yellow
And I am right here

Chorus
