Green and Grey

Old folk songs and their wisdom
looking for an unclaimed ear
for a soul undistracted
listen child and you shall hear
of green and gray
green and gray

Tell me a bedtime story
one with monsters and heroes
give me something to believe in
tell me something that I don’t know
green and gray
green and gray

Do you know what it was like before you?
I’ll show you a life you never lived
may you never know my anguish
but make things better for your kids
green and grey
green and grey
