Lyrics

At whose mercy lie your hands?
A teenage boy was shot for being black
And I feel ashamed when I hear the news
I know that nobody knows shame like you do
Another downright murder
For the glow of your skin
And the darkness shows
What the white man owes
To the black man
I've seen your body burning in the street
And the white man
Wants to destroy your body
Dear black man
I want to tear you out of this dark night
Don't let anyone tell you you're not in the thick of a fight
And in whose hands will you find your mercy?
If it's the disgrace of an entire country
Another downright murder
For the glow of your skin
And the darkness shows
What the white man owes
To the black man
I've seen your body burning in the street
And the white man
Wants to destroy your body
Oh dear black man
No god will tell you how it feels
To be a white man
Who's burning up your body
Dear black man
