Black and White

I’m told the world’s not black and white,

There’s colors, shades of grey.
But when I look in the mirror
It doesn’t seem that way.
 
I know what’s wrong and what is right,
And what I ought to do,
But when it comes time to step up
More often I fall through.
 
I think each day, “todays the day
That I will do it right”,
But evening finds me once again
Trapped in the black and white.
 
Yet God has patience beyond mine
And He will set me right.
Until then I will do my best,
Living in black and white.
