There's only one black
Only one white
But the shades of grey between, thata's real life
They're the definite maybes
The I don't knows
Throw a wrench in your works
And a stumble in your big show

CHORUS:

But don't you worry darling
Don't show those deep lines
You're taking it all too hard
Mistakes give way to magic
Self doubt to clear signs
And there's beauty waiting in those grey shades

Do you listen to your heart strings
When the voice says no
Do you race to the wire or take it real slow
You can tattle to your neighbour
Cry with your friends
But they don't know any more than you do in the bitter end

REPEAT CHORUS

Waiting in those grey shades
There's beauty in those grey shades

You might lean a little this way
And then change your mind
Let it go, let it flow, it'll settle in its own time

REPEAT CHORUS

Waiting in those grey shades
There's beauty in those grey shades
Beauty in those grey shades
In those grey shades
