Black Light

Hopped in my car

Went down to Birmingham, Alabama

There I went to the Museum Of Civil Rights

And got a lesson in suffering

There I saw the likes of Rosa Parks

Medgar Evers, Dr. Martin Luther King

And I got all emotional singin'

"We shall overcome, let freedom ring"

So now, I'm looking for a boy, looking for a girl

Who's got a dream inside to change the world

Give me a lady, come on give me a man

Who's strong enough to take a stand

And be a black light, a candle in the darkness

We need some more, black light, courageous and strong

'Til there is no more bigotry and madness

All it takes is a spark, and the fire will burn on and on

I stood on my front porch with all the lights out

Guess what I was seeing

There was a myriad of diamonds flung out

Across a velvet sky

And it served to remind me

Of the perseverance of those before me

'Cause the darker the night

The brighter the starlights are gonna shine

So I'm looking for a boy, looking for a girl

Who's got a dream inside to change the world

Give me a lady, come on give me a man

Who's strong enough to take a stand

And be a black light, a candle in the darkness

We need some more, black light, courageous and strong

'Til there is no more bigotry and madness

All it takes is a spark and the fire will burn on and on

I said the fire will burn on and on

You know the fire will burn on and on

Well, I need more

Black light, black light, black light, black light

Black light, black light, black light, black light

Black light, black light, black light, black light

Black light, black light, black light, black light
