Black Man Lyrics

Black Man

S. Wonder/Byrd First man to die For the flag we now hold high Was a black man   
       (Crispus Attucks) The ground where we stand With the flag held in our
hand Was first the redman's Guide of a ship On the first Columbus trip Was a
brown man           (Pedro Alonzo Nino) The railroads for trains Came on
tracking that was laid By the yellow man We pledge allegiance All our lives To
the magic colors Red,blue and white But we all must be given The liberty that
we defend For with justice not for all men History will repeat again It's time
we learned This World Was Made For All Men Heart surgery Was first done
successfully By a black man            (Dr. Daniel Hale Williams) Friendly man
who died But helped the pilgrims to survive Was a redman              
(Squanto)  Farm workers' rights Were lifted to new heights By a brown man      
     (Cesar Chavez) Incandescent light Was invented to give sight By the white
man          (Thomas Edison) We pledge allegiance All our lives To the magic
colors Red,blue and white But we all must be given The liberty that we defend
For with justice not for all men History will repeat again It's time we learned
This World Was Made For All Men Hear Me Out. Now I know that the birthday of a
nation Is a time when a country celebrates But as your hand touches your heart
Remember we all played a part in America To help that banner wave First clock
to be made In America was created By a black man     (Benjamin Banneker) Scout
who used no chart Helped lead Lewis and Clark Was a red woman    (Sacagawea)
Use of martial arts In our country got its start By a yellow man And the leader
with a pen Signed his name to free all men Was a white man   (Abraham Lincoln)
We pledge allegiance All our lives To the magic colors Red,blue and white But
we all must be given The liberty that we defend For with justice not for all
men History will repeat again It's time we learned This World Was Made For All
Men This world was made for all men This world was made for all men This world
was made for all men G-d saved His world for all men All people All babies All
children All colors All races This world's for you and me This world My world
Your world Everybody's world This world Their world Our world This world was
made for all men Hear Me Out... (call and response with children)
