Black and White

[Silence]

[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Clean Guitar Arpeggio, Warm Organ Pads, Steady Bass Pulse, Soft Piano Chords, Rising Synth Texture]
[Minimal Beat, Spoken Vocal]
What do you see?
(What is clear)
What will it be?
(The answer’s here)

[Refrain]
This is…
(Black and white)
Wrong and right

This is…
Yes or no
(Now we know)

… here we go!

[Verse 1]
Lines are drawn across the page
Truth is tested, age by age
Does the choice become a sign
Does the moment draw a line

Left or right, up or down
Lost or found, smile or frown
Simple answers fill the space
But shades remain behind the face

[Pre-Chorus]
Can we see beyond the frame?
Can we question another name?
When the colors start to blend
Where does certainty begin or end?

[Chorus]
Black and white
(Day and night)
Dark and light
(What is right?)

Black and white
(Separate)
Wrong and right
(We debate)

But the world keeps moving on
Before the final answer’s drawn

[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March, Synth Lead Rising]

[Verse 2]
We want a world that’s easy to see
A perfect line of certainty
But every question, every choice
Carries more than one voice

A simple word, a simple claim
Can hide a complicated game
The closer that we look inside
The more the edges start to divide

[Bridge]
Truth is not a wall
Truth answers the call

[Final Refrain]
This is…
(Black and white)
Wrong and right

This is…
Yes or no
(Now we know)

But between the dark and light
There are colors out of sight

This is…
(Black and white)
A place to start

Wrong and right
(Heart to heart)

… here we go!

[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Echoing Guitar Theme, Sustained Organ Chords, Gentle Piano Fade, Synth Atmosphere Dissolving Into Silence]
This is…
(Black and white)
Wrong and right

This is…
Yes or no
(Now we know)

… here we go!
