The Gospel Youth
The Darkest Shades of Black and Grey
It still gets dark for me from time to time
But I am finding ways of creating light
I know your shoulders, they are heavy
But please carry on
I know that black dog we share likes to bear its teeth
But you are master here, please take the lead
I know it’s hard to keep on going, but
You are beautiful and strong

Most days you don’t see in colour, I know
Most days you don’t see in colour
Most days all you feel is the darkest shades of black and grey

So let me illuminate the path for you
If you feel alone, you don’t have to
Though I know your heart is stubborn
Let me take the weight
I wish I could a find a better way to say
That are you are not alone, that the sadness fades
But the candles I am lighting
Are only in my head, I know

But your colours, they speak for themselves
You are stronger now, you are something else
Your colours shine so beautifully to me
