COME TO MY DOOR BABY
FACE IS CLEAN
AND SHINING
BLACK AS NIGHT
MY MOTHER WENT
TO ANSWER YOU
KNOW THAT YOU
LOOKED SO FINE
NOW I COULD
UNDERSTAND
YOUR TEARS
AND YOUR SHAME
SHE CALLED YOU BOY
INSTEAD OF YOUR NAME
WHEN SHE WOULDN'T
LET YOU INSIDE
WHEN SHE TURNED
AND SAID BUT HONEY
HE'S NOT OUR KIND
SHE SAYS
I CAN'T SEE YOU
ANYMORE BABY
CAN'T SEE YOU
ANYMORE
WALK ME DOWN
TO SCHOOL BABY
EVERYBODY'S ACTING
DEAF AND BLIND
UNTIL THEY
TURN AND SAY
WHY DON'T YOU
STICK TO YOUR OWN KIND
MY TEACHERS
ALL LAUGH
THEIR SMIRKING STARES
CUTTIN' DEEP DOWN
IN OUR AFFAIRS
PREACHERS
OF EQUALITY
THINK THEY BELIEVE IT
THEN WHY WON'T THEY
JUST LET US BE
THEY SAY
I CAN'T SEE YOU
ANYMORE BABY
CAN'T SEE YOU
ANYMORE
ONE OF THESE DAYS
I'M GONNA
STOP MY LISTENIN'
GONNA RAISE
MY HEAD UP HIGH
ONE OF THESE DAYS
I'M GONNA RAISE UP
MY GLISTENIN' WINGS
AND FLY
BUT THAT DAY
WILL HAVE TO
WAIT FOR A WHILE
BABY I'M ONLY
SOCIETY'S CHILD
WHEN WE'RE OLDER
THINGS MAY CHANGE
BUT FOR NOW
THIS IS THE WAY
THEY MUST REMAIN
I SAY I CAN'T SEE YOU
ANYMORE BABY
CAN'T SEE YOU
ANYMORE NO
I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU
ANYMORE BABY
