    listen children
    keep this in the place
    you have for keeping
    always
    keep it all ways
    we have never hated black
    listen
    we have been ashamed
    hopeless tired mad
    but always
    all ways
    we loved us
    we have always loved each other
    children all ways
    pass it on
