| Well if I’m crying inside about a thing I’m trying to hide
|
| And you don’t understand
|
| And it gets all out of hand
|
| So I turn away but that only makes you say
|
| «I want to talk about it now, these words won’t wait!»
|
| I got some feelings inside me that are screaming to get out
|
| And these are some emotions you don’t hear, so I will shout
|
| «Well it’s a long way from Florida or Ohio!»
|
| But the feeling is the same and it only goes to show
|
| Time to say it loud
|
| Time to say it proud
|
| I don’t like what I see
|
| And if I’m talking too loud
|
| I’m using secondary vision and an old white cloud
|
| It’s been floating through my future and my past is spinning round
|
| I want to talk about it now
|
| About the racist in the crowd
|
| Cause I’m black and I’m white and I’m blue and I’m proud
|
| We gotta talk about it now about the common-law shroud
|
| For an ordinary man and an extraordinary girl
|
| To come together and apart and then together in this world
