Someone Like Me

No one wanted to be someone like me Ebony! Ebony! I repeated every night It was the most beautiful word I was called if I was not white No one wanted to be someone like me Fight! Fight! Is what I did for my rights I would always come back late in the night No one wanted to be someone like me Rosa! Rosa! Is what people began to shout I've made a change without a doubt It's a funny thing Over time people wanted to be someone like me
