Long Ago, Black and White

Long ago, when a white man saw his brother's dark face, He did not accept him because he was from a different race, How could such a horrible thing be so true? The scares, the bruises, all black and blue. Where was the love? Finally, a man was sent from an angel above, No more war, He opened up for us a brand new door. A door where there was no more violence, Where we could live everyday in peaceful silence, A door where we had the right to choose where to sit on a bus, And not make a fuss. So, here we are today, Each year getting more grey, Do we accept people the way they are? We still have a while to go, but we are not very far.
