Shades of Faith
Green on brown, brown on green,
My hair is combed, my wounds are cleaned,
I’ll leave without a guide.
Brown on green, green on brown
I’m gonna leave this sleepy town
And search for life outside.
White on gray, gray on white,
The stars are twinkling loud tonight,
I leave myself behind.
Gray on white, white on gray,
I’ll walk towards the rising day
To see what I can find.
Blue on gold, gold on blue,
I spent my life in search of you,
But found myself instead.
Gold on blue, blue on gold,
I am tired, I am old;
I wish that I was dead.
Green on brown, brown on green,
Oh the glory I have seen
Is enough to make one chaste.
Brown on green, green on brown,
The world is wide, and new, and round,
But my life was such a waste.
