Where they are


The world was so cruel All the blacks were treated like fools They were enslaved by whites They had no civil rights But now look where they are They have made it so far They fought for civil rights No matter how hard the fight They won their battle And are no longer treated like cattle Look where they are these days There lives have changed in many ways They have become equal and free That's the way the world should always be
