Choice of Colors |
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 |
