Dark Child

Dark Child Smile Beautiful Black Child, Smile Your innocence will last only a while. A black curtain lays in wait For those who share your fate. Dark child, destined to live for certain Behind an evil invisible curtain. That black curtain will fall for you While others walk on through. You’ll have to be strong to survive The problems of just staying alive. You must run long and hard my son Your life will not be an easy one. There will be no easy street To cushion your weary feet. Each day you will hear the call Each day you will see the curtain fall.
