FastSaying

They took one look at me,
And hated my black face.
They took one look at me,
And decided on my fate.
They took one look at me,
And forced an unknown fear.
They took one look at me,
And caused the shed of tears.
They took one look at me,
And decided I was wrong.
They took one look at me,
And now I'm singing the slave mans song...

Star light, Star bright
First star I see tonight…

I whispered your name to a star last night
Softly, yet so bold
I closed my eyes, and saw your face
I spoke those words untold

I wish I may, I wish I might
It shouted from my soul
Have this wish, I wish tonight
The wish I can't let go...
