Hoping for a life more sweeter

Instead I'm just a story repeating

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

Because you stole from me

My chance to be.

Hoping for a life more sweeter

Instead I'm just a story repeating

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.

Hoping for a life more sweeter

Instead I'm just a story repeating

Why do I fear with skin dark as night?

Can't feel peace with those judging eyes.
