Moving Mountains - Can't Afford the Color lyrics
[Moving Mountains - Can't Afford the Color lyrics]
Leah it's your birthday
Why do you have to be so
Ashamed of your last name?
Weren't you laughing when we could
Go back home again?
And we'll go and you'll know that we love you
And we'll go and you'll know that we love you
Hey mom and dad come look at this photograph
Even though it's black and white
There was so much color in our eyes
(Even you could be happy too)
And that's what they all tell us when
We wait in line for soup
And we'll soar like we've never soared before
And we'll sing songs of joy
And we'll go and you'll know
That it's been so long
Talking more than years since
I've seen these colors
And not been drowning in our tears
This side of the spectrum is so unfamiliar
You need to slow down
You need to give us a chance
To make things better
We won't let you down we won't let you down
We won't let you down we won't let you down
We won't let you down we won't let you down
We won't let you down
Why do you have to be so
Ashamed of your last name?
Weren't you laughing when we could
Go back home again?
And we'll go and you'll know that we love you
And we'll go and you'll know that we love you
Hey mom and dad come look at this photograph
Even though it's black and white
There was so much color in our eyes
(Even you could be happy too)
And that's what they all tell us when
We wait in line for soup
And we'll soar like we've never soared before
And we'll sing songs of joy
And we'll go and you'll know
That it's been so long
Talking more than years since
I've seen these colors
And not been drowning in our tears
This side of the spectrum is so unfamiliar
You need to slow down
You need to give us a chance
To make things better
We won't let you down we won't let you down
We won't let you down we won't let you down
We won't let you down we won't let you down
We won't let you down
