Black Boy

Living in my little world That cannot be illustrated by word I didn't choose myself neither did you Who should be blamed my parents or who At sunrise I thought it was normal Young black boy now realises it's a pommel Why do they hate me I said Not my fault hence my color fade Now sunset but still can't change I'm a black boy not that strange Change they say starts with one man Plea for acceptance, I know you can Let's all live in peace in same little world Nature made us different still from same source
