What if the world was like an old movie,
black and white and silent,
the good guy always wins,
the bad guy always loses,

What if you had no words,
your mouth moves but no sound,
What if we had no color,
everything was black and white and silent,

What if you were born to play a role,
you couldn't change, you just played your part,
you were cast in a roll, someone else chose,
you were either good or bad,

So be thankful the world isn't that way,
be thankful you can say what you need to say,
be thankful you weren't cast in a roll to play,
be thankful you're not black and white and silent
