Never Let Me Go

If you had a choice of color
 Which one would you choose, my brothers?
 If there was no day or night
 Which would you prefer to be right?
 How long have you hated your white teacher?
 Who told you, you love your black preacher?
 Do you respect your brother's woman friend
 And share with black folks not of kin?
 People must prove to the people
 A better day is coming for you and for me
 With just a little bit more education
 And love for our nation would make a better society
 Now some of us would rather cuss and make a fuss
 Than to bring about a little trust
 But we shall overcome our beliefs someday
 If you'll only listen to what I have to say
 And how long have you hated your white teacher?
 Who told you, you love your black preacher?
 Can you respect your brother's woman friend
 And share with black folks not of kin?
 I said, "Now people must prove to the people
 A better day is coming for you and for me
 With just a little bit more education
 And love for our nation would make a better society"
 And if you had a choice of colors
 Which one would you choose, my brothers?
 If there was no day or night
 Which would you prefer to be right?
 And if you had a choice of colors
 Which one would you choose, my brothers?
 If there was no day or night
 Which would you prefer to be right?
