Choice Of Colors |
| If you had a choice of colors |
| Which one would you choose, my brothers? |
| If there was no day or night |
| Which would you prefer to be right? |
| How long have you hated your white teacher? |
| Who told you, you love your black preacher? |
| Do you respect your brother’s woman friend? |
| And share with black folks not of kin |
| People must prove to the people |
| A better day is coming for you and for me |
| With just a little bit more education |
| And love for our nation |
| Would make a better society |
| Now some of us would rather cuss and make a fuss |
| Than to bring about a little trust |
| But we shall overcome, I believe, someday |
| If you’ll only listen to what I have to say |
| And how long have you hated your white teacher? |
| Who told you, you love your black preacher? |
| Can you respect your brother’s woman friend |
| And share with black folks not of kin? |
| I say now people must prove to the people |
| A better day is coming for you and for me |
| With just a little bit more education |
| And love for our nation |
| Would make a better society |
| And if you had a choice of colors |
| Which one would you choose, my brothers? |
| If there was no day or night |
| Which would you prefer to be right? |
| And If you had a choice of colors |
| Which one would you choose, my brothers? |
| If there was no day or night |
| Which would you prefer to be right? |
| If you had a choice of colors |
| Which one would you choose, my brothers? |
