Well if I'm crying inside about a thing I'm trying to hide  and you don't understand  and it gets all out of hand  So I turn away but that only makes you say,  "I wanna talk about it now. These words won't wait."  I got some feelings inside me that are screaming to get out  And these are some emotions you don't hear, so I will shout:  WELL IT'S A LONG WAY FROM FLORIDA OR OHIO!  But the feeling is the same and it only goes to show  Time to say it LOUD  Time to say it PROUD  I don't like what I see  and if I'm talking too LOUD  I'm using secondary vision and an OLD WHITE CLOUD  It's been floating through my future and my past is spinning 'round  I wanna TALK about it NOW   About the RACIST IN THE CROWD  'Cuz I'm BLACK AND I'M WHITE AND I'M BLUE AND I'M PROUD  We gotta talk about it NOW about the COMMON-LAW SHROUD  For an ordinary man and an extraordinary girl   To come together and apart and then together in this world.
