Bilingual
Hoping for a life more sweeter
Instead, I'm just a story repeating
ย
Why do I fear with skin dark as night?
Can't feel peace with those judging eyes
I thought we moved on from the darker days
Did the words of the king disappear in the air
Like a butterfly?
Somebody should hand you a felony
ย
'Cause you stole from me
My chance to be
Hoping for a life more sweeter
ย
Instead, I'm just a story repeating
ย
Why do I fear with skin dark as night?
Can't feel peace with those judging eyes
The tears of my mother rain, rain over me
My sisters and my brothers sing, sing over me
And I wish I had another day
But it's just another day
ย
Hoping for a life more sweeter
ย
Instead, I'm just a story repeating
ย
Why do I fear with skin dark as night?
Can't feel peace with those judging eyes
Hoping for a life more sweeter
