HAPPENED tonight
And a miracle has ______________
But if you're thinking about my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white
They print my message in the Saturday Sun
TELL
I had to _________them I ain't second to none
And I told 'em about equality
And it's true, either you're wrong or you're right
But if you're thinking about my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white
I am tired of this devil / I am tired of this stuff
I am tired of this business
So when the going gets rough
I ain't scared of your brother
I ain't scared of no sheets
I ain't scared of nobody
Girl, when the going gets mean
Protection for gangs, clubs and nations
Causing grief in human relations
It's a turf war on a global scale
I'd rather hear both sides of the tale
See, it's not about races
Just places, faces
Where your blood comes from is where your space is
I've seen the bright get duller
I'm not going to spend my life being a color
Don't tell me you agree with me
KICKING dirt in my eye
When I saw you __________
But if you're thinking about my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white
I said: If you're thinking of being my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white
I said: If you're thinking of being my brother
It don't matter if you're black or white
Oh, oh / Alright, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, come on / Yeah, yeah, yeah
