Well there`s a cruel sun beating
Where there once was a river
Crops are bending in the heat
But still her dark skin shivers
When you move to the beat of hungry
It`s a slow, aching journey
She`d hide out but there ain`t no shelter
She`d cry but there ain`t no pity
Yet the cool of the night
Reveals the spark of a sweeter life
So she`s dreamin`in color and livin`in black and white
Dreamin` in color, livin` in stone cold black and white
Sittin`in a grey day, leanin` on a bright new tomorrow
Where some rainbow rules will make everything all right
She ain`t about to let the blues over come her
She`ll contend with this day to day life
She`s just dreamin` in color, and livin` in black and white
Well it`s a gunshot down
Here in the heart of the city
He slides closer to his mama
It`s months since they`ve seen daddy
There`s a pale light shinin`
From a bare refrigerator
By the stained, cracked plaster
By the cold radiator
But he`s sure out beyond these mean streets
There lies paradise
So he`s dreamin` in color and livin` in black and white
Dreamin` in color, livin` in stone cold black and white
Sittin`in a grey day, leanin` on a bright new tomorrow
Where some rainbow rules will make everything all right
He ain`t about to let the blues over come him
He`ll contend with this day to day life
He`s just dreamin` in color, and livin` in black and white
Dreamin` in color, livin` in stone cold black and white
Sittin`in a grey day, leanin` on a bright new tomorrow
Where some rainbow rules will make everything all right
They ain`t about to let the blues over come them
They`ll contend with this day to day life
They`re just dreamin` in color, and livin` in black and white
They`re just dreamin` in color, and livin` in black and white
Dreamin` in color, livin` in stone cold black and white
Dreamin` in color, livin` in stone cold black and white
Dreamin` in color, livin` in stone cold black and white
Dreamin` in color, livin` in stone cold black and white
