As far as I recall
Your footsteps ringing down the hall
The moment has come for you to shine
Leave your war paint and your high heels behind
You don't know now
Might you be surprised
By the dawning
Of something
Of something greater
How I love your differences
They're an obvious fact
I love the way you dance
The way you laugh
I love you all the time
I love you black
As far as I recall
Your footsteps ringing down the hall
And your color shining through my eyes
The weather's pretty nice outside
Now you got a little older
Your mind is liberated from the past
For some it ain't like that
How I love your differences
They're an obvious fact
I love the way you dance
The way you laugh
I love you everywhere
I love you black
