They douse your soul in ash and smoke
And never do they see
The brilliant spread of color
That your life is going to be
They paint you shades of gray
As if that's all they really know
And stand you in their spotlight
Where they can't see how you glow
Yet from across the greatest distance
Your hues all brightly shine
And it's saddest for their sake
that they're so deeply colorblind
The fact is that you're radiant
A palette of perfection
And all you need to see it
Is the truth in your reflection
Your appetite for what you seek
Is stronger than your yoke
And sooner than they think
They'll know the bull that they provoke
So power through, love... you will see
That there will come the day
When you'll never more be painted
In a single shade of gray
