Dear Black Boy
Dear Black boy, Black and beautiful.
Radiant as the sun,
Close your eyes and see.
Look deep down inside
Deep within the mirror of your soul
You have the power to control.
Dear Black boy, Black and beautiful.
Shiny satin black skin
Several shades, dazzling in the light.
Clench your fists, feel your might
Hold your head up high
Open your wings, fly high and reach for the skies
Dear Black boy, Black and beautiful.
Always remember these words are true
Welcome each day with your beautiful smile.
You come from a long history, one longer than the river Nile.
Open your eyes
Never let anyone tell you otherwise.
