Ebony woman By Elston Perry
Ebony woman Hold your head up high Listen to your man’s cry I cry of love And supreme happiness Ebony woman You’re the one I long to caress
The essence of your beauty Deems total command Ebony woman You have made me The man I am
You bring me back When I slip away Ebony woman you are here To stay Ebony woman Hold your head up high Listen to your man’s cry
I cry for our ancestors Who slaved and sacrificed Suffering indignities and Fighting for our rights
I cry for the fathers who faced a Challenge to their manhood Every given day Many of their sons not knowing Them except by DNA Incarcerated or disenfranchised I cry for the day when We all realize All will be made right
I cry for the mothers who had heavy Burdens to bear Many raising their children with So many worries and cares Being mother and trying to be father too? Our mothers are superwomen They deserve their due
I cry for our children and youth We must adopt all of them And claim them as our own Love them and care for them Until they are grown In order to guarantee A bright future and divine destiny We must make the sacrifices Until we set ourselves free
