Morning and Night (A True American Story)
Night peeked at Morning
Hiding his disguise
Morning was naive
To Night’s shady lies
Morning shone bright
And blinded our eyes
We were too tired
To see ol'Night's rise
Morning’s big brave heart
Is striped red and white
Speckled stars of blue
Winning every fight
Night was fear, control, and evil
Racism, hate, and crime
He never showed his true colors
Just waiting for wartime
We only ever talked about
How Morning’s number one
Even though Night shouted out
He comes at us with guns
An interior enemy, Night became
He crept out into Morning’s light
He threatened divides amongst his people
And Morning had lost her sight
Gloomy days filtered the sky
While Morning wept of what she lost
Lo, she had forgotten what
Night has thus forgot
Masses of people
Remembered this too
That strength is in numbers
Bad cannot outdo good
Morning stood tall
Waving her flag
Night couldn’t believe it
He got very sad
Night slumped back down into his shadows
Morning won her home back
Everything has been better since then
Now that the people finally fought back
