Black and White

Black and white has the right to be
Black and white can live together
There’s more hope than despair
It just depends on what you prefer
But black or white have an obligation to exist

Some blacks believe they must be white
Others are proud to be what they are
It has much ado with your moral values
And it depends on your sanity
Black or white have the right to be

Some people believe blacks are inferior
Others do not think that way
It depends on what you prefer
But black or white have the right to be.

Some whites believe they are superior
Some whites believe blacks are equal
It depends on what you prefer
Black or white have the right to be!
