| Beautiful Brown Baby I look into your eyes And I see a beauty for all to behold But he will not Instead, he will see you as weak he shall fear you for he does not understand you Beautiful brown baby born unto me I have nothing to give you but inner strength & beauty I can give you skin of chocolate I can give you eyes deep as the sea But I cannot give you that they will treat you better than they did me I can mold you into a man strong as an ox But I cannot shield you from their blows and knocks Beautiful brown baby born into a world of hate which will not love you because you are too dark to be great But you are great and beautiful unto me and I hope one day you will be beautiful unto thee I hold you in my arms And shield you from your fears And until they see your pain I shall wipe your tears |
