Mccarthy's Day Lyrics - Dan Hill

This is just a song to say 

That I'm proud for what they are 

And I hope my world can take me 

Half that far 

Way back in Mccarthy's day 

My parents left the USA 

Young rebellious lovers 

They left behind a nation far too proud 

And powerful to say 

That love transcends all colors 

Some black men turned against my father 

Some white men turned against my mother 

Each race has their place they all would say 

And with a past so battle worn 

And a future begging to be born 

They found a life that's growing still today 

And glancing through the years 

And living through their fears 

I hope they can accept my goals 

A bit confused, a bit unclear 

And all the years behind me now 

Seem like a book I've read and yet somehow 

I still don't understand all the words 

All the black and all the white 

That rest in me that make me fight 

Remind me of all the knowledge left to learn 

Still some black men turned against my father 

Some white men turned against my mother 

Each race has their place they all would say 

With a past so battle worn 

And a future begging to be born 

They found a life that's growing still today 

And glancing through the years 

And living through their fears 

I hope they can accept my goals 

A bit confused, a bit unclear 

This is just a song to say that I'm proud for what they are 

And I hope my world can take me half that far
