GWell, you wonder why I always dress in black.
Why you never see bright colors on my Aback, and
CWhy does my appeaGrance, seem toC have a sombre tGone,
Well, there's a Areason for the things that I have Don.
GI wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of tAown.
I wCear it for the prGisoner, who has lCong paid for his cGrime.
But is theAre because he's a victim of the tDimes.
I Gwear the black for those, who've never read,
Or listened to the words, that Jesus saAid,
AboutC the road to happGiness, through lCove and chGarity,
Why, you'd thAink He's talking straight to you and Dme.
WeGll, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose,
In our streak-of-lightnin' cars and fancy cAlothes,
But juCst so we're remiGnded, of, the onCes who are held Gback,
Up frAont there oughta be a man in bDlack.
I Gwear it for the sick and lonely old,
For the reckless ones, whose bad trip left them cAold,
I Cwear the black in mGournin', for the lCives that could have bGeen,
Each Aweek we lose a hundred fine young mDen. and
I Gwear it for the thousands who have died,
Believin' that the Lord was on their sAide,
I Cwear it for anGother hundred thCousand who have dGied,
BelAievin' that we all were on their sDide.
WelGl, there's things that never will be right, I know
and things need changin' everywhere you Ago,
But 'Ctil we start to mGake a move, to maCke a few things riGght,
You'll neAver see me wear a suit of wDhite.
Aw!G I'd love to wear a rainbow every day, and
Tell the world that ev'rything's AOK
But I'Cll try to carry oGff a little dCarkness on my baGck,
'Til tAhings are brighter, ID'm the man in Gblack.
