Choice of Colours |
| If you had a choice of color |
| 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 our beliefs 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 said 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 |
