From the recording This is My World 2023
“An Angel Can’t See Grey” is a thoughtful exploration of empathy, growth, and the complexity of human relationships. Contrasting the black-and-white clarity of angels with the nuanced reality of human life, the song reflects on judgment, generational gaps, and the importance of compromise. With poetic verses and a memorable refrain, it reminds us that to truly love, connect, and grow, we must learn to see the greys—to accept differences, embrace uncertainty, and seek understanding beyond appearances. This song is an invitation to move beyond simple answers and find meaning in life’s middle ground.
Lyrics
A stranger can’t see past the dirt on your face
Before you say a word you’re already a disgrace
And an angel can’t see grey but a man is not that way
The old can’t teach the young they’re too set in their ways
To grow you have to change you have to see the greys
And an angel can’t see grey but a man is not that way
There’s always night and day but it’s never black and white
We can find another way we don’t have to fight
For any love to grow you have to learn to see the greys
Have to try to compromise realize we’re not the same
The truth is never clear
A million mistakes for every good idea
A child can’t understand that there’s a time and place
Thinks his mother’s hand will always hold the ace
And an angel can’t see grey but a man is not that way
An angel can’t see grey but a man is not that way
