Ben Harper - Black Beauty Lyrics

Ben Harper Lyrics

"Black Beauty"
(from "Black Boys" soundtrack)

Beautiful, so beautiful
Beautiful, so beautiful

I am an astronaut
I am a president
I am a revolutionary
I'm your neighbor
We are black
We are black
We are beautiful
So beautiful

I'm a son and I'm a daughter
A teacher and a farmer
A race car driver
A poet and an astronomer
We are black
We are black
We are beautiful
So beautiful

Beautiful
Beautiful

From the creator is all of creation
Reimagine your imagination
In the balance the fate of a nation
Fate of a nation, fate of a nation

Evolution without revolution
Breeds a racist institution
Part of the problem or the solution?
Don't pretend not to see and expect absolution

I'm not what you think I am
I'm not what they say I am
I rise up and I take my stand
I am whatever I dream to be
We are black
We are beautiful
So beautiful
We are beautiful
So beautiful
We are black
We are black
We are beautiful
So beautiful
So beautiful
We are black and beautiful
Black and beautiful
Black and beautiful
Black and beautiful
Black and beautiful...
