Neither Black nor White, Can Figure What's Right


Equality is but a dream When you look at the whole worlds scheme Neither black nor white Can figure what's right However, many years ago It turns out some people did know Heroes like Martin Luther King Raised his voice to equally sing Neither black nor white Can figure what's right His words led to a new movement Rights for blacks; but the whites said he can't Heroes arose like Rosa Parks And were put down because they're "darks" Neither black nor white Can figure what's right Her fight led to a bus boycott Right's for blacks; but the white's said she can't These days are long in the past now And rights are forever allowed Neither black nor white Can figure what's right Money, religion, sex, color All treatment just like the other
