| People must prove to the people
|
| A better day is coming
|
| But you wait for me oh yeah, yeah
|
| Alright, alright, alright, then he said
|
| If you had a choice of colors
|
| Which one would you choose my brothers
|
| If there were no day or night
|
| Which would you prefer to be right
|
| How long have you hated your white teacher
|
| Who told you to love your black preacher
|
| Could 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 And with a little bit more education
|
| With love for our nation will 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 our beliefs someday
|
| If you will only listen to what I have to say
|
| How long have you hated your white teacher
|
| Who told you to love your black preacher
|
| Can you respect your brother’s woman friend
|
| And share with black folks not of kin
|
| I’m telling you, people must prove to the people
|
| A better day is coming for you and for me And with a little bit more education
|
| And love for our nation will make a better society
|
| If you had a choice of colors
|
| Which one would you choose my brothers
|
| If there were 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
|
| If there were 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
|
| If there were 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 |
