Ginny Owens: Land Of The Grey lyrics
Words and music by ginny owens: bmg songs, inc. (gospel division)/above the
Rim music (administered by bmg songs, inc.) (ascap)
Theres a young mother with three children
Got a stable income and a faithful husband, too.
Shes searchin for her lifes meanin,
So she says to her shrink, Im leavin home soon!
Just decided that she couldnt take it anymore,
Didnt look back, she just snuck out the back door-
Chorus:
What is wrong with this picture?
We applaud this behavior
Admire how she breaks away-
Oh, its so clearly cloudy, in the land of the grey.
Theres a young senator,
Gifted politician,
So consumed by pursuing his career.
Use to care about what the people wanted,
But now hes learned how to say what they wanna hear.
A million lies and scandals bear his name,
But youll never see him hide his face in shame-
Chorus:
What is wrong with this picture?
We applaud this behavior
Hes a hero if he makes mistakes-
Oh, its so clearly cloudy in the land of the grey.
Whats wrong? whats right? absolute confusion.
Whats black? whats white? everything looks hazy.
Such scenarios bring me to only one conclusion-
Maybe weve all gone crazy.
Three little kids are prayin mama comes home,
And a little town feels violated and betrayed.
Meanwhile, two very unhappy people
Try to excuse the messes that theyve made.
But youll never hear it stated quite that way,
We cant handle it here in the land of the grey.
