McCarthy’s Day – Dan Hill – letras

This is just a song to sayThat I’m proud for what they areAnd I hope my world can take meHalf that farWay back in McCarthy’s dayMy parents left the USAYoung rebellious loversThey left behind a nation far too proudAnd powerful to sayThat love transcends all colorsSome black men turned against my fatherSome white men turned against my motherEach race has their place they all would sayAnd with a past so battle wornAnd a future begging to be bornThey found a life that’s growing still todayAnd glancing thru the yearsAnd living thru their fearsI hope they can accept my goalsA bit confused, a bit unclearAnd all the years behind me nowSeem like a book I’ve read and yet somehowI still don’t understand all the wordsAll the black and all the whiteThat rest in me that make me fightRemind me of all the knowledge left to learnStill Some black men turned against my fatherSome white men turned against my motherEach race has their place they all would saywith a past so battle wornAnd a future begging to be bornThey found a life that’s growing still todayAnd glancing thru the yearsAnd living thru their fearsI hope they can accept my goalsA bit confused, a bit unclearThis is just a song to say that I’m proud for what they are
