I was an August baby, Conceived by the Christmas lights, I came into the world by the setting sun, On a humid summer night,
"Born, conceived, alone. Family surrounded me, it just didn't feel in place.."
When my grandmother held me for the very first time, She thanked God I looked like my daddy, And I never quite knew just what she meant, But I knew she was a little too happy, And now I see,
"My life here just wasn't meant obe it was too odd for me, I wanted, I was needed for something else, something bigger.."
You can't change a stubborn mind, You can't see the world if your eyes are blind What does it matter anyway, In our darkest hour we're all just shades of grey,
"Then, taken away, stolen away when I was 5 life doesn't seem to be the same again."
They got married in a tiny chapel - 1965, Malcolm X was on the radio, When he took her as his wife, And she looked so pretty that September day, And her older brother cried as he gave her away, And the minister looked like he didn't know what to say, And then he spoke,
"Something happened, something went wrong in my mind, but this was my dark fate to change me into who I was meant to be.."
You can't change a stubborn mind, You can't see the world if your eyes are blind, What does it matter anyway, In our darkest hour we're all just shades of grey,
"Taken away, brought into a room of dark souls, I was afraid, I trembled. I wanted to scream and get out. But I knew this was my fate.."
And when my grandmother held me, For the very first time, She thanked God I looked like my daddy, And I never gave a damn just what she meant, But I knew she was a little too happy, And now I see,
"After, I felt in place, life was good, people were afraid I had power, but in the end everyone hated me, but I still had power and that's all that mattered to me.."
You can't change a stubborn mind, You can't see the world if your eyes are blind What does it matter anyway, In our darkest hour we're all just shades of grey, In our darkest hour we're all just shades of,
"Now my life fell apart, shattered. I was lost, running in circles of confusion and hatred towards everyone even myself.."
Darkest hour we're all just, Shades of grey - Hey, Hey, Hey, It doesn't matter anyway Don't give a damn, Don't give a damn, Don't give a damn what they say We're all just shades of grey, We're all just shades of grey, Shades of grey,
"In a twist of confusion, and a long time waiting, twisting and turning, mind blowing questions came clear and answers laid in different places waiting to be uncovered.."
The song that I chose is by Amanda Marshall and it's called "Shades of Grey". Thank you. Sachiel.
