How many times will man be burned Before he realizes the lessons he must learn How many dreams will blow out in time Before they have their chance to shine And I say whoa, whoa, come sing with me And I say whoa, whoa, I... I try to dream in color But the world sees in Black and White I try to see what's peaceful But the world seems to want to fight How many children is there no future for They're trapped behind the walls of war How many songs must be written to say That 'peace and love' is the only way And I say whoa, whoa, come sing with me And I say whoa, whoa, I... I try to dream in color But the world sees in Black and White I try to see what's peaceful But the world seems to want to fight We all must stand and fight For what we know is right And we must try, to strong When it's wrong, not let it go on And I say whoa, whoa, come sing with me And I say whoa, whoa, I... I... I try to dream in color But the world sees in Black and White I try to see what's peaceful But the world seems to want to fight I try to dream in color But the world sees in Black and White Who was your teacher Did they not show you wrong from right I try to dream in color
