27 Years

The color today is grey
I see only black and white
Every day's the same

Great tall trees that have no leaves
Silhouettes against a pale sky
That sheds no light

The color today is grey
I can see a bleak horizon

Will it ever change?
Such an unforgiving landscape
Where silence paints an image

Of on ever-ringing bell

Again and again

I don't even know what happened
Can I still be blamed?
Please God let a storm come down

At least something would tell me
Time was passing

The color today is grey
Darkness keeps my innocence
And I can only age

If the locks were drawn
Release would only leave me as a child
Uncared for

Is my life a game?
Can I not compose my part?

No choice is mine to make
Color me in shadows
For I no longer see the rainbow

And angels cannot reach me
