And I know it's just a fantasy
62
I cordially invite you to ask why can't it be?
63
Now we can't do nothing bout the past
64
But we can do something about the future that we have
65
We can make it fast or we can make it last
66
Every woman Queenin', every man a Kingin'
67
When those color lines come we can't see between
68
We just close our eyes 'til it's all black everything
69
You would never know
70
If you could ever be
71
If you never try
72
You would never see
73
Stayed in Africa
74
We ain't never leave
75
So there were no slaves in our history
76
Were no slave ships, were no misery, call me crazy, or isn't he?
77
See, I fell asleep and I had a dream, it was all black everything
