Lyrics to:
Black Man
From Songs In The Key Of Life
By Wonder, Stevie




First man to die 
For the flag we now hold high (Crispus Attucks) 
Was a black man  
 
The ground were we stand 
With the flag held in our hand 
Was first the redman's  
 
Guide of a ship 
On the first Columbus trip (Pedro Alonzo Nino) 
Was a brown man  
 
The railroads for trains 
Came on tracking that was laid 
By the yellow man  
 
We pledge allegiance 
All our lives 
To the magic colors 
Red, blue and white 
But we all must be given 
The liberty that we defend 
For with justice not for all men 
History will repeat again 
It's time we learned 
This World Was Made For All Men  
 
Heart surgery 
Was first done successfully 
By a black man (Dr Daniel Hale Williams)  
 
Friendly man who died 
But helped the pilgrims to survive (Squanto) 
Was a redman  
 
Farm workers rights 
Were lifted to new heights (Caesar Chavez) 
By a brown man  
 
Incandescent light 
Was invented to give sight (Thomas Edison) 
By the white man  
 
We pledge allegiance 
All our lives 
To the magic colors 
Red, blue and white 
But we all must be given 
The liberty that we defend 
For with justice not for all men 
History will repeat again 
It's time we learned 
This World Was Made For All Men  
 
Here me out...  
 
Now I know the birthday of a nation 
Is a time when a country celebrates 
But as your hand touches your heart 
Remember we all played a part in America 
To help that banner wave  
 
First clock to be made 
In America was created 
By a black man (Benjamin Banneker)  
 
Scout who used no chart 
Helped lead Lewis and Clark 
Was a redman (Sacagawea)  
 
Use of martial arts 
In our country got its start 
By a yellow man  
 
And the leader with a pen 
Signed his name to free all men 
Was a white man (Abraham Lincoln)  
 
We pledge allegiance 
All our lives 
To the magic colors 
Red, blue and white 
But we all must be given 
The liberty that we defend 
For with justice not for all men 
History will repeat again 
It's time we learned 
This World Was Made For All Men  
 
This world was made for all men 
This world was made for all men 
This world was made for all men 
God saved His world for all men 
All people 
All babies 
All children 
All colors 
All races 
This world's for you 
and me 
This world 
My world 
Your world 
Everybody's world 
This world 
Their world 
Our world 
This world was made for all men  
 
Here me out...
