Choice Of Colors Songtext / Lyric

People must prove to the people

A better day is coming

But you wait for me oh yeah, yeah

Alright, alright, alright, then he said



If you had a choice of colors

Which one would you choose my brothers

If there were no day or night

Which would you prefer to be right



How long have you hated your white teacher

Who told you to love your black preacher

Could you respect your brother's woman friend

And share with black folks not of kin



People must prove to the people

A better day is coming for you and for me

And with a little bit more education

With love for our nation will make a better society






Now some of us would rather cuss and make a fuss

Than to bring about a little trust

But we shall overcome our beliefs someday

If you will only listen to what I have to say



How long have you hated your white teacher

Who told you to love your black preacher

Can you respect your brother's woman friend

And share with black folks not of kin



I'm telling you, people must prove to the people

A better day is coming for you and for me

And with a little bit more education

And love for our nation will make a better society



If you had a choice of colors

Which one would you choose my brothers

If there were no day or night

Which would you prefer to be right



If you had a choice of colors

Which one would you choose my brothers

If there were no day or night

Which would you prefer to be right



If you had a choice of colors

Which one would you choose my brothers

If there were no day or night

Which would you prefer to be right



If you had a choice of colors

Which one would you choose my brothers
