which color am i lord?
answer me and feel this void
my color comes with so many shades
and make it difficult to choose
i am black
i am brown
i am the darker shade of white
i am coffee color
i am chocolate brown
which color am i lord?
do i have to be black because everyone says im black
cant i just go back and choose a color
i know the color of my skin
its the color that cracks up with laughter
when a new day begins
my color has carried the world since the first evening
my color has carried the world since the dawn of time
my color is for every occasion
the laugh of my color through the night creates a brand new day
my color is black and its back
thank you lord for making me black
