Hopped in my car Went down to Birmingham, Alabama (There I) went to the museum of civil rights And got a lesson in suffering (There I) saw the likes of Rosa Parks Medgar Evans, Dr. Martin Luther King And I got all emotional singin' "we shall overcome" "Let freedom ring" I'm looking for a boy looking for a girl Who's got a dream inside to change the world Give me a lady Come on give me a man Who's strong enough to take a stand (and be a) (Chorus) Black light, a candle in the darkness Black light courageous and strong 'Til there is no more bigotry and madness All it takes is a spark, and the fire will burn on and on I stood on my front porch with all the lights out Guess what I was seeing There was a myriad of diamonds flung out across a velvet sky And it served to remind me of the perseverance of those before me 'Cause the darker the night the brighter the starlights are gonna shine I'm looking for a boy looking for a girl Who's got a dream inside to change the world Give me a lady Come on give me a man Who's strong enough to take a stand (and be a) (Chorus)
