You Are, I Am (Song)

Scott Whitby, 2023

I'm black and white

You're red and blue

I'm gray at best

Not purple like you

You are a poem

I’m only a word

You tell the story

I am never heard

You are the chords

I'm just a note

You are music

I wish I wrote

I am a petal

You're a bouquet

No one remembers

If I fall away

But here we are

Sailing together

You are the bird

I am your feather

We swim across the water

We swim, just me and you

We find that other shore

I'm gray, I love you and your red and blue

I'm gray, you are purple red and blue

You are red and blue and I love you

I'm right or wrong

But you see the truth

I think I know

But you see right through

You are a song

The beautiful voice

The words don't matter

It's not my choice

You are the sunset

Shadows are where I live

You are the sunrise

There's nothing for me to give

I stand in awe

You don't seem to care

What you are and what I am

Your love is so fair

But here we are

We are singing together

Here we are

A bird and a feather
