Sides face grand square
When the world and I were young
Just yesterday
Life was such a simple game
A child could play, Allemande and weave
It was easy then to tell right from wrong
Easy then to tell weak from strong
When a man should stand and fight
Or just go along

Well those heads (sides) promenade halfway you go
Down the middle square thru 4 hands you know
All the way, do the right & left thru
Veer to the left, ferris wheel
Well those centers square thru three hands and then
Swing that girl, promenade again
Today there is no black or white
Only shades of gray

Sides face grand square
I remember when the answers seemed so clear
We had never lived with doubt or tasted fear
Allemande and weave
It was easy then to tell truth from lies
Selling out from compromise
Who to love and who to hate
The foolish from the wise

Sides face grand square
It was easy then to know what was fair
When to keep and when to share
How much to protect your heart
And how much to care
Allemande and weave
But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light
Today there is no black or white
Only shades of gray
