Shades Of Gray
Amanda Marshall

I was an August baby

Conceived by the Christmas lights

I came into the world by the setting sun

On a humid summer night


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


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 gray


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


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 gray


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


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 gray

In our darkest hour, we're all just shades of


Darkest hour, we're all just shades of gray

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 gray

We're all just shades of gray

Shades of gray
