Chorus:. Don't go near the water if you don't like to swim. 'Cause somebody just might try and push you in. Well now, how many times have I told you. Not to get your feet wet.
Before I am black. Before I am woman. Before I am short. Before I am young. Before I am African. I am Human. Before I am black. Before I am woman. Before I am short.
Never knowing in the dark, in the light, when the world will change. Eliminating all the far, all the sadness in the falling rain. Touch my heart, touch my soul, lead me into the light of the day.
She screams out every night in a billion tears. In desperate fear that you're somewhere near. Faulting her action for all that's occurred. Wanting to tell all, never saying a word.
Hey man. . Don't go near the water if you don't like to swim. 'Cause somebody just might try and push you in. Don't go near the water if you don't like to swim.
Chorus:. Stop to think before you blow it. 'Cause if you think you don't it will lead. You down the path to the end of your life. . So - I finally got you hooked.
The reality of it all is that reality is. What it is or what we think it is. Why are things the way they are?. Who said that the sky was in fact the sky?.
Every thing's so crystal clear now. All I needed was time. Oh, every thing's so crystal clear now. I've cleaned my mind. . Now the sky has opened. There are no limits to this.
Ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh. . Please tell me what is going on. What have I done to you. To make you feel so blue?. . I know something has gone wrong. I can see it in your eyes.
Before I am black. Before I am woman. Before I am short. Before I am young. Before I am African. . I am human. I am human. . Because I am black. Because I am woman.
Faced with a challenge of finding right and wrong. In a brand new world that recognizes none, yeah. It's hard for me to believe in all my travels. I'm the only one, the only one.
Never knowing in the dark, in the light, when the world will change. Eliminating all the far, all the sadness in the falling rain. Touch my heart, touch my soul, lead me into the light of the day.
She screams out every night in a billion tears. In desperate fear that you're somewhere near. Faulting her action for all that's occurred. Wanting to tell all never saying a word.
