WHAT IF THE WORLD WERE BLACK--
What if the world were black;
I mean every single person all nationalities;
All they could see would only be tan, brown, bronze black;
How would you react?
Would you close your eyes, only if you’re prejudice?
Would you say I am yours only if you loved me so?
What if the world were all brown;
Would you stay around;
Does the color of my skin, send you running
Toward me to wound or kill
Or running away cause you fear;
If it were a matter of fact and we were all colored black;
How would the Klan, fair…
Would they even care;
What about all those different religions …
Guess what God is no color God;
Does it matter to Him at all?
Does your spirit soul have a color?
What if the world were black;
I mean every single person all nationalities;
All they could see would only be tan, brown, bronze black;
How would you react?
Would you close your eyes, only if you’re prejudice?
What color are the angels, are they like us;
And what about Jesus?
Take a look at yourself, look around;
Judge no man understand we’re all just clay;
Made by Gods majestic hands…
Breath of life colorless it’s about the inside not the out;
And what about Jesus?
Take a good look at yourself?
