this written black song
this written black song
i wrote today
this black song
you sing for our slaves, our women
back in the day
when we didn't have freedom
no sunshine
and still today,
we written our black song
inside our hearts
while walking on bare feet
with the blues are sung by
passing larks
as they sing their black song too......
cos at some point in time,
we are not free
not freeing ourselves in words
we don't speak
don't express our emotions
the pain is our cage
we just locked up in it
and we may never fly
until the simple sunny smile is
losing us up with
the black song is turning into
our positive thinkings
our own sunshines in everyday and
each night........i
