Sunshine

Hey, look in the sky!
It’s so beautiful.

What do you call it again?  Sun…

That’s not what I hear
I hear it’s  called the big one
Yellowman
A big star in the sky…

Well, no matter what you call it,
it’s so beautiful and real….
I can’t believe my eyes,
and to me it’s called Sunshine…

Rain 

Let the rain fall ..

Run your fingers through your hair….

Play in the middle of the street,
have fun enjoy yourself…

Watch out don’t trip,
look out for that puddle….

Rain, let the rain fall…

Be Black

I wish I knew how it feels to be black,
so black that I can stand undressed and bald
but still be me…

I wish I knew how it feels to be black
to know I am and know I knew
really knew how it feels to be me…

I wish I knew how it feels to be black
so black that no one can see me…

Orange doesn’t have to define the color orange,
white knows white, pure white light white….

I wish I knew how it feels to be black
so black that I can be me…
