Lyrics

HOW MANY TIMES MUST I SAY THE SKY IS GREEN
BEFORE SOMEONE FINALLY BELIEVES ME
HOW MANY PEOPLE MUST BELIEVE THE SKY IS GREEN
BEFORE WE SAY THAT'S HOW THINGS MUST BE
I THINK IT'S JUST AS MANY TIMES AS IT TAKES SAYING SIN IS ALRIGHT
FOR PEOPLE TO BELIEVE THAT GOOD COMES
FROM WHAT'S GOOD IN MAN'S SIGHT

(CHORUS)
LORD TEACH ME TO SEE BLACK AND WHITE
IN THIS WORLD COLORED BY SIN.
REMIND ME THAT YOUR WORD AND TRUTH
ARE THE SAME THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN.
LORD TEACH US TO SEE BLACK AND WHITE
IN THIS WORLD COLORED BY SIN
DON'T LET US COMPROMISE TO JUSTIFY THE MESS WE'RE IN
LORD TEACH US TO SEE BLACK AND WHITE

HOW MANY TIMES, MUST I LIVE MY SHADES OF GRAY
BEFORE SOMEONE FINALLY DECEIVES ME
AND HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN SEE ME COMPROMISE MY FAITH BEFORE THEY SAY, YOU'RE JUST LIKE ME
OH I THINK IT'S JUST AS MANY TIMES AS IT TAKES SAYIN SIN IS ALRIGHT
FOR PEOPLE TO BELIEVE GOOD COMES FROM WHAT'S GOOD IN MAN'S OWN SIGHT

(BRIDGE)
JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK SO
DOESN'T MEAN IT IS SO
GOTTA LEAVE ROOM TO BE WRONG
JUST BECAUSE IT FEELS RIGHT DOESN'T MEAN IT IS RIGHT
CAN'T AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT COMES ALONG
JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT TO
DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO
YOU CAN CHOOSE THE WAY THAT YOU GO
JUST BECAUSE GOD MADE YOU
DOESN'T MEAN HE MADE YOU
DO ANYTHING YOU CAN'T CONTROL
