Lyrics: Cyrena Fiel
Music: Cyrena Buenaventura Fiel
You can colour me in black or white
Some only see what’s wrong and right
Rainbows don’t appear at night
But the stars above are burning bright
Said I’ll wait down by the bay
See what floats my way
Praise the colours of the sky
Damn the world if it dared to change-’em
Skipping rocks along the water
Tell me do these sons and daughters
Know that there are different shades
Just trust the light that paves the way
Chasin’ caffeine, blowing smoke
Calling life out, it’s a joke
Let funny be what funny be
What works for me just works for me
Logically it’s guaranteed
Perpetuate a sin and that’s what you bleed
But the sky’s nevertheless a testament to the best
Reap what you sow and the waters will know
You can colour me in black or white
Some only see what’s wrong and right
Rainbows don’t appear at night
But the stars above are burning bright
Simple’s not for everybody
Complicated’s true
But if you tell me life’s this or that
You’re either black or blue
Staple statements of good advice:
Everyone is always nice
But if I am I, as you are we
Reach hands to foe in times of need
And everybody knows
The good things are colours showed
Not monochromatic, life automatically
Isn’t born with eyes of envy
Long live the juxtaposed
I pray you keep it close
The presence of their beauty’s
Not the absence of your own
I’m gonna be something today
And paint this world a million shades of grey
‘Cause maybe there’s more than what we’ve seen
If we just open our eyes we’ll know there’s more to life
Than what may be
You can colour me in black or white
Some only see what’s wrong and right
Rainbows don’t appear at night
But the stars above are burning bright
Simple’s not for everybody
Complicated’s true
But if you tell me life’s this or that
Oh don’t you tell me life’s this or that
(6x)
If you tell me life’s this or that
You’re either black or blue
