Mama dips you in prayer
White frees all colors, Black embraces them
Revealing in its shades, all, we hold dear
White sneers at colors, Black devours them
Revealing in the shadows, all, that men fear
Prejudice is a judgment,
preceding its crime
Innocence is a child,
time after time
Glimpsing white and its colors
As black embraces them
Humming up a rainbow
And a new anthem
White frees all colors, Black embraces them
Revealing in its shades, all we hold dear
White sneers at colors, Black devours them
Revealing in the shadows, all, that men fear
Prejudice is a judgment,
preceding its crime
Innocence is a child,
time after time
And it’s time, so don’t linger
Lake Peace is calling dear
It’s the same stuff, my luv, that lights you up
When mama dips you in prayer
-Suraj Mani
A lullaby, "go to sleep without fear, wake up without prejudice"
