Black or White

Behind the wall the ears of love are listening Behind the door they kneel Behind the boy from whom we steal Behind the dark, deserted halls of memory Inside the sound: "ahoy! "we have just landed for employ "we need your hands to carru us to our joy" To black or white And step on it Black or white Between the shadow and uncertain colour Between the word and sign Between the man and all his time Between the sidewalk and the moving stairway Between the yay and nay! There falls the thruth we aim to slay There falls the thruth we do so righteous flay Come black or white And step on it Black or white Until we gather life and all our dreams Until we cool the heat Until we share our cup of meat Until the trail of waste is put to stud Until we drift away Towards the picture in the frame Our celebratian comes a game to play Just black or white And step on it Black or white
