Race
You call me black, brown or white
I don’t care, I will fight
I will fight for my right
Be I black, brown or white!
I will fight for the right to live
To live, to love, to share to give
To live in peace upon this earth
For that’s my right by my birth!
You call me black, brown or white
I don’t care, I will fight
I will fight for my right
Be I black, brown or white!
I was born free, no shackles no chains
Upon my heart no racist stains
I was born free, to live and breathe
Nature to feed my every need
You call me black, brown or white
I don’t care, I will fight
I will fight for my right
Be I black, brown or white!
The blood we bleed, the colour is red
Their colour is clear, the tears we shed
The sweat we wipe from off our brow
Shines the same, no matter where we go
You call me black, brown or white
I don’t care, I will fight
I will fight for my right
Be I black, brown or white
Beneath our skin, there is muscle and bone
Tissue and flesh beneath the gleaming tone
Of skin that might be black brown or white
Of humans that have the will to fight.
So, let’s look beyond race, the colour of skin
Let us look inside, at what’s within
Let us together our problem face
As one big body –the human race
So, it matters not, be it black brown or white
We don’t care, we will fight
We will fight for our place
As honest members of the human race!
