M Verse three What happened to those children in those three short years That colour came between them forcing them to tears It' not that they feel different after all It's because they hear the trumpeting of hate and it's loud call It' because their parents told them there' a difference in their skin And that mixing up they colour is to them a mortal sin |

18 Oct 13 - 09:49 AM (#3568028) Subject: Lyr Add: KIDS COLOUR BAR (Harvey Andrews) From: folkypaul I was looking for this a couple of weeks ago, then I found it in a folder- KIDS COLOUR BAR You hear the sound of laughter ringing in your ears A class of forty children all of seven years Indian and half caste, white and brown they are But they get along together for they know no colour bar A couple walk into the room light shining in their eyes The girl say's she loves Jimmy and she will until she dies But Jimmy's only seven and his skin is dark in a sight And the little girl who's with him has a skin so fair and white. You leave that little couple holding hand in the room You walk into the playground on a sunny afternoon Ten year olds are fighting and it's wrong as they knew But one is white and one is black and blood is on the two. The fighters separate, and hate is in the air You ask them why they punch and kick and pull each others hair He called me chocolate face and a nigger and a wog Said go back home you coloured coon, you've more fleas than my dog What happened to those children in those three short years That colour came between them and force's them to tears That after those years of fun and walking side by side A chasm opens up between, so deep, so dark and wide It's not because they feel that they are different after all It's because they hear the trumpeting of hate and its loud call It's because their parents taught them there's a difference in their skin And that mixing up the colours is to them a mortal sin Repeat first verse Harvey Andrews PaulO |
