Aidan Yagu - Green to Grey Lyrics

"Green to grey"
Once the earth was alive with colors so bright
Fields stretched wide under the soft morning light
But whispers of greed spread slow like a stain
Now the soil's cracked lost to the strain
They used to dream of a world untamed
Now they turn their backs to what's left unnamed
Messages spoken but they couldn't hear
As the truth faded it disappeared
"Green to grey"
They turned their eyes to the towers that rise
Trading the stars for the artificial skies
Voices of hope drowned by the loud
And the beauty they had slipped into the crowd
Once they were green but the colors have gone
Before the world turned its back the sun shined so strong
They reached for the sky but the clouds took the day
Now the sun feels so far and the hope fades away
"And they turn from green to grey"
The blooms once bloomed now they wither away
A moment of promise now lost in the fray
The winds once carried dreams light as a feather
Now they carry smoke but it doesn't get better
They talked of a future but forgot how to care
Choosing the shortcut but unaware
Once rich with promise now barren and dry
And the earth they knew just passed them by
"Green to grey"
A call for the wild but the city's too loud
They chant for salvation but it's just a crowd
The truth slipped away now it's hard to see
The world they could've built's a memory
Once they were green but the colors have gone
Before the world turned its back the sun shined so strong
They reached for the sky but the clouds took the day
Now the sun feels so far and the hope fades away
And they turn from green to grey
It ain't about blame ain't about who's right
It's about losing the way when they gave up the light
They said the future's bright but it's hard to see
When the world they built ain't what it was meant to be
"Green to grey"
The light they once chased now flickers so faint
But maybe just maybe there's still time to repaint
The fog could break the sun might find its place
But the time to decide can't be left to waste
Once they were green but the colors have gone
Before the world turned its back the sun shined so strong
They reached for the sky but the clouds took the day
Now the sun feels so far and the hope fades away
So they turned from green to grey
