You watch TV in color
Black & white is outdated
Why even bother?
But then you ask me
If I am gay or straight
What a black and white question
For such a colorful world
Sometimes I forget
You dream in Black and White
I dream in color
I can’t be defined by a check mark
Labeled for your convenience
I am everything
I am nothing
I am just me
This is 2012
We’ve got 3D movies
A black family in the White House
337 languages spoken in the US
Even the English language changes
As you travel across the country
A virtual rainbow of words
Yet even in this dynamic era
You dream in Black and White
I dream in color
I can’t be defined by a check mark
Labeled for your convenience
I am everything
I am nothing
I am just me
When you start to consider
Shades of gray
You think butch versus femme
Drag queen versus bear
But what about me
Playing with power tools in my tiara
Gray still doesn’t cover me
In your world I am unlabelable
You dream in Black and White
I dream in color
I can’t be defined by a check mark
Labeled for your convenience
I am everything
I am nothing
I am just me
