Hoping for a life more sweeter
Instead I'm just a story repeating
Why do I fear with skin dark as night
Can't feel peace
with those judging eyes
I thought we moved
on from the darker days
Did the words of the King
disappear in the air
Like a butterfly
Somebody should hand you a felony
Because you stole from me
My chance to be
Hoping for a life more sweeter
Instead I'm just a story repeating
Why do I fear with skin dark as night
Can't feel peace
with those judging eyes
The tears of my Mother
rain rain over me
My sisters and my brothers
sing sing over me
And I wish I had another day
but it's just another day
Hoping for a life more sweeter
Instead I'm just a story repeating
Why do I fear with skin dark as night
Can't feel peace
with those judging eyes
Instead I'm just a story repeating
Why do I fear with skin dark as night
Can't feel peace
with those judging eyes
I thought we moved
on from the darker days
Did the words of the King
disappear in the air
Like a butterfly
Somebody should hand you a felony
Because you stole from me
My chance to be
Hoping for a life more sweeter
Instead I'm just a story repeating
Why do I fear with skin dark as night
Can't feel peace
with those judging eyes
The tears of my Mother
rain rain over me
My sisters and my brothers
sing sing over me
And I wish I had another day
but it's just another day
Hoping for a life more sweeter
Instead I'm just a story repeating
Why do I fear with skin dark as night
Can't feel peace
with those judging eyes
