Someone stole my color today.
My vibrance is missing, it's gone away.
I don't know what else to say
because someone stole my color today.

My red is gone, orange and yellow too.
I'm already missing their warm hue.
I can't find green, I can't find blue
Somebody help! I don't know what to do!

Please tell me they're hiding!
Please say that I'm lying!
I don't want to keep on writing
about my lost colors-
Am I crying?

What if purple's gone astray?
Or maybe indigo just lost its way?
I feel as if I'm starting to decay.
Wait, when did everything turn to gray?

...

I'm finding it hard to keep myself at bay.
This is so much more than I can take.
I didn't choose to be black, white and gray

but someone stole my color today.
