Babbie Mason - Black and Blue lyrics
I'm taught to be proud, Still I'm not allowed To speak and know I'm being heard. It seems rather strange Some things never change; Some lessons they never get learned. I've come a long ways Since back in the days In Dixie, when cotton was king. The heartache remains From the storms I've been through And right now I'm black and blue. I stayed on my knees I cried and I grieved It's hard to forgive and forget. But memories don't die And I'm still asking why Would people treat people like that. God looks at my skin I'm lovely to Him; He made me and said it was good. But people still judge, It's so sad but it's true; God knows why I'm black and blue. I've nothing to gain by shifting the blame I'm saying, at last, let the past be the past; While there is strength in my bones, I will still journey on. But I'm not naive, I still do believe that The last will be first, the servant be served We're all bound to reap what we sow. When love finally wins, Someday hatred will lose 'Till then I'll be black and blue. One day love will win, Someday hatred will lose; Then I still will be black, But I'll no longer be blue. |
