Choice of Colors

歌詞

People must prove to the people A better day is coming But you wait for me oh yeah, yeah Alright, alright, alright, then he said If you had a choice of colors Which one would you choose my brothers If there were no day or night Which would you prefer to be right How long have you hated your white teacher Who told you to love your black preacher Could you respect your brother's woman friend And share with black folks not of kin People must prove to the people A better day is coming for you and for me And with a little bit more education With love for our nation will make a better society Now some of us would rather cuss and make a fuss Than to bring about a little trust But we shall overcome our beliefs someday If you will only listen to what I have to say How long have you hated your white teacher Who told you to love your black preacher Can you respect your brother's woman friend And share with black folks not of kin I'm telling you, people must prove to the people A better day is coming for you and for me And with a little bit more education And love for our nation will make a better society If you had a choice of colors Which one would you choose my brothers If there were no day or night Which would you prefer to be right If you had a choice of colors Which one would you choose my brothers If there were no day or night Which would you prefer to be right If you had a choice of colors Which one would you choose my brothers If there were no day or night Which would you prefer to be right If you had a choice of colors Which one would you choose my brothers
