Little Black Girl

Raise a glass and say thanks
You're alive, you are numb
Cherish smiles and their laughter
Shed a tear then you're done
Being the person you want them to see
Shed the skin you're not in
Live this life, then be done
Be the brave
And be the honorable one

Cuz I had dreams
But you stole them from me
So mad I can't see
And so cold I can't feel

Little black girl
It's gonna be okay
I'm gonna find you
A better place someday

Little black girl
Keep your head up high
Cuz everything, everything
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright

Such a mess to cleanup now
Is all she says
Came and saw, didn't conquer
Hand in air
Body tense and position fierce
They say it's no laughing matter

Cuz I had dreams
But you stole them from me, yeah

Little black girl
It's gonna be okay
I'm gonna find you
A better place someday

Little black girl
Keep your head up high
Cuz everything, everything
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright

Cuz I, I had dreams
But you stole them from me
So mad I can't see
What's wrong with me

Little black girl
It's gonna be okay
I'm gonna find you
A better place someday, noo

Little black girl
Keep your head up high
Cuz everything, everything
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything, everything gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be
Little black girl
