Ballad - Blackmanburning

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/194477
We’ve been subjected to pain for so long
They hate our color ‘cuz it’s not their own
Too many don’t make it alive
We’re just trying to survive
We’re just trying to live as one
We keep trying, they expect us to right their wrongs
So wrong
Said, we’re only fighting for peace man
With this these trigger happy policemen
As another one dies
While we cry

The black man burning tonight
Black man burning
The black man burning tonight
Black man burning
The black man burning tonight
Black man burning
The black man burning tonight
Black man burning

Don't want to see my sisters dying
Don't want to hear that baby crying
For so long we have wept and bled
Carried by the prayers that were said
That we could be all we were meant to be
In the face of devastation and tragedy
Remember your worth, remember your pride
Remember your strength, remember your ties
Tireless nights, we continue to fight
Bury your burdens as we take flight

The black man burning tonight
Black man burning
The black man burning tonight
Black man burning
The black man burning tonight
Black man burning
The black man burning tonight
Black man burning

The black man may be burning
But the black soul
The black soul
The black soul
Lives on
Don't you, you forget their names
Don't you, you forget their names (lives on)
Don't you, you forget their names
Don't you, you forget their names (lives on)
Don't you, you forget their names
Don't you, you forget their names (lives on)
Don't you, you forget their names
Don't you, you forget their names (lives on)
As another one dies
While we cry

The black man burning tonight
Black man burning
The black man burning tonight
Black man burning
The black man burning tonight
Black man burning
The black man burning tonight
Black man burning

Black man burning
Black man burning
Black man
