Black Man Lyrics

Black Man lyrics

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...
