I Am Not a Black Man Lyrics by Sarah Wheeler

Out of the Woodwork

2012

He said: "I am not a black man, I am not a soldier"
"I am not the one who put this burden on your shoulders"
I can't see that he's helping anyone
Seems the need to be standing in the sun
Why does he keep acting like he's the only one who's hurting?
He said: "Why don't you sit right down and listen to what I have to say?"
I said: "I don't wanna hear that story today"
Can't see that he's helping anyone
Seems the need to be standing in the sun
Why does he keep acting like he's the only one who's hurting?
He said: "You gotta have some respect for your elder ones"
I said: "Respect is earned and learned and you can't teach it with a gun"
I can't see that he's helping anyone
Seems the need to be standing in the sun
Why does he keep acting like he's the only one who's hurting?
And he kept going round and round in that same little ring
Both of us just thinking the same thing
Both of us just wishing that band would ring
Both of us just wishing that band would ring
Both of us just wishing that man would ring
