VERSE 1
I've heard it said,
The earth looks peaceful
When it's seen from outer space,
Such a pretty place
For you and me.
How do we hear the wisdom
Of the crickets in the night,
Singing out of sight
From way down here,
Way down here,
Where there's only right or wrong?
Why can't we just try to get along?
VERSE 2
I've heard it said,
There’s a hundred billion
Galaxies of light
Lighting up the night
For you and me.
We could be
Just as peaceful
As the earth from outer space,
Living in a place
Of harmony,
Harmony,
Oh such a lovely sound.
Why do we put one another down?
CHORUS
Just consider that there is no
Wrong or right.
And consider that there is no
Black or white.
There are always shades of gray
To help us find our way
To the light,
To the light.
VERSE 3
I've heard it said,
Ev'ry culture has
A history in stone,
Dances of their own
They like to do.
Wouldn’t you
Like to be accepted
Just the way you are?
Is that really hard to see?
Couldn’t we
Find a way to understand
And blow away that line
In the sand?
CHORUS
CODA
Dee Dee Dee…
There are always shades of gray
To help us find our way
To the Light (4x)
I've heard it said,
The earth looks peaceful
When it's seen from outer space,
Such a pretty place
For you and me.
