You turn your head
I look away
I peak over
You're hanging out with friends
You laugh
I cry
I want you
Do you notice?

I am nothing without you
But you never seem to notice
I don't say anything
Scared I'll stand out
I want to stand out, but not too much
I've given you signs but your blind to them
I am nothing without you
Please notice me

I have mistreated you
I have thrown you away
I have made you weak
I have polluted you
I have made you *****
I have damaged you
I have destroyed your outer beauty
I have built new structures, that cover your natural landforms
I have made you change so much in such little time
I have mistreated you

I now care
I now think before I do
I now do not litter, but recycle
I now reuse and reduce
I now build more of your natural beauty the best I can
I now encourage others to take part
I now reduce waste
I now conserve water
I now try to make you new
I now care

I will share
I will tell people the news
I will joins “Save the Earth” groups
I will spread the word
I will take action
I will create an army, to save your worth
I will hang signs and posters
I will explain what we have done
I will show new effective solutions
I will share

I have mistreated you
That was in the past
I now care
I will treat you right
I will share
I will spread the word

We will all take action

Red, yellow, green and blue
Orange, pink and violet, too.
All of these colors are accepted
But me, gray, nobody likes gray
I am gray

I am a dark shade
I am not a color
I blend in, never coming out
The rest of the colors are vibrant
I am gray

I am always in the dark
Never spoken to
Never acknowledged
I am always pushed aside
I am gray

I am by myself - Like a lone wolf
No one understands me
I am the shadows of other people
I feel like I don’t belong
I am gray

I am darkness
Never to be seen with the sun
I have no brightness within me
I stay hidden in the lonely street corners
I am gray

I should never come out
for no one would notice me
I am a shadowy figure
No one understands me
I am gray

Red, yellow, green and blue
Orange, pink and violet, too.
I wish I was like them,
I wish to be known and to belong
I am gray
