Songteksten

[Verse 1]
How I wish
I could bring
Tenderness
Leavening
And to bare the fact
Of each heinous act
To which I've been a part
Oh, my black American heart
[Verse 2]
What I'd give and unlearn
Should some peace and concern
Fill this empty dread
On the wire we tread
Between fear and disgrace
Oh, my red American face
[Verse 3]
Would my life be in vain
If in strife or some small pain
I gave up the right
To this greed and spite?
Then what might begin
Oh, my white American skin
[Bridge]
No more
No more
[Verse 4]
Endlessly journeying
Yet to hear freedom ring
Must we all be tossed
On the nation's cross
Before the truth is whole?
Oh, my lost American soul
[Outro]
No more
No more
