Black in America Songtext
von Jesse Johnson

Being black in America
Sometimes I can′t believe
People think that I'm just a crazy fool
For believing in a dream
Being black in America
Sometimes I can′t believe
People think that I'm just a crazy fool
For believing in a dream

They look at me
They look at my car
And then they try to tell me
That I'm a star
To me there′s no such thing

Some of us are lucky by far
But still we fight for the rights to be
Black and brown and set free


I beg your pardon
I didn′t mean you
I take the blame
You don't stand accused
To you my love and apology

The point is its only getting worse
If now for ourselves
The children deserve
A better world from you and me

If I could dream tomorrow, Lord
I′d take all the hurt away yesterday
If I could save your sorrows
(Lord knows)
I'd save ′em baby
Save 'em for a rainy day

Being black in America
Sometimes I can′t believe
People think that I'm just a crazy fool
For believing in a dream
Being black in America
Sometimes I can't believe
People think that I′m just a crazy fool
For believing in a dream.
