Shades of Truth lyrics

Here inside this quiet room, there's direction

Outside in the sultry noontime, reflection

A million people scurry, they're looking for advice

None willing to lend charity, just exercise their

Shades of truth and partisan conventions

Shades of truth between disparate lines

Shades of truth interpret my intentions

You don't know I'm alright

Who authored the blueprints and made us captains?

Someone proclaimed creation, people listened

While children, by the millions, are thrown into this zoo

The so-called gift of clarity! Oh, what was God up to?

Shades of truth and lenient conventions

Shades of truth, between disparate lines

Shades of truth interpret my intentions

You don't know I'm alright

So many walk in parallel and pull their blinders tight

So few offer apology and accept others rights

And nothing absolutely can be cherished in the end

But can't we all accept that it will all happen again?

Shades of truth and partisan conventions

Shades of truth between disparate lines

Shades of truth interpret my intentions

You don't know I'm alright
