Rose Colored Glasses
Rediscovering Life's Brilliance: Rose Colored Glasses
Lyrics
Innocent, I used to be innocent
In the past, I was innocent
Sidewalk chalk and walkin' barefoot
Engaged in simple pleasures like sidewalk chalk and walking barefoot
Magic in every step I took
Felt magic in every step I took
Cold, when did my heart get so cold
My heart has become cold
Must've happened over night 'cause
This change seemingly happened overnight
Now a quarter of my life is
One-fourth of my life has passed
Gone just gone
Acknowledging the time that has elapsed
But you can't dream in black and white
Dreaming is hindered by a lack of color
There's still stars in the dead of night
Despite challenges, there are still stars in the dark of night
I'm taking back every moment that passes
Reclaiming every passing moment
Looking past all the fire and ashes
Looking beyond difficulties and hardships
To see the world again
Striving to perceive the world anew
Through rose colored glasses
Optimistically viewing life through rose-colored glasses
Down, deep here underground
Feeling deep and underground
Digging toward the light I'm seeing
Digging towards the light despite challenges
But that don't mean that I ain't feeling
Acknowledging the emotional challenges
Rough, I'm a diamond in the rough
Describing oneself as a diamond in the rough
But there's still sparkle under the shine
Believing there's still inner sparkle despite external challenges
I just have to brush off all this dust
Needing to overcome difficulties and setbacks
It's just dust
Recognizing challenges as temporary
'Cause you can't dream in black and white
Reiterating the hindrance of dreaming in black and white
There's still stars in the dead of night
Finding stars in the darkness
I'm taking back every moment that passes
Reclaiming every fleeting moment
Looking past all the fire and ashes
Looking beyond difficulties and past struggles
To see the world again
Striving to see the world with renewed optimism
Through rose colored glasses
Continuing to view life through rose-colored glasses
You can't dream in black and white
Emphasizing the limitation of dreaming in black and white
There's still stars in the dead of night
Finding stars in the dark of night
You can't dream in black and white
Repeating the limitation of dreaming in black and white
There's still stars in the dead of night
Emphasizing the continued presence of stars in the dark of night
I'm taking back every moment that passes
Reclaiming each passing moment once again
Looking past all the fire and ashes
Looking past challenges, especially those symbolized by fire and ashes
To see the world again
Striving to see the world with renewed optimism once more
Through rose colored glasses
Continuing to view life through rose-colored glasses
