Nicole C. Mullen - Black Light Lyrics

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)
