Black and White

 

I have been hearing this song playing in my head all day today. It has been a favorite of mine since I was a little girl (I have always connected deeply with music and this is one of those songs that moved me to tears, even when I was only in elementary school).

Since it won't stop playing in my head, I am taking it as a sign that it needs to be shared so here are the lyrics to the Three Dog Night singing "Black & White" followed by a video below that. 

I hope it speaks to you as much as much as it speaks to me. I don't believe we were ever meant to be separate - not based on skin color or anything else. IMHO, I believe we are here to love one another no matter what our "differences" are.

The ink is black, the page is white
Together we learn to read and write
A child is black, a child is white
The whole world looks upon the sight
A beautiful sight

And now a child can understand
That this is the law of all the land
All the land

The world is black, the world is white
It turns by day and then by night
A child is black, a child is white
Together they grow to see the light
To see the light

And now, at last, we plainly see
We'll have a dance of liberty
Liberty

The world is black, the world is white
It turns by day and then by night
A child is black, a child is white
The whole world looks upon the sight
A beautiful sight

The world is black, the world is white
It turns by day and then by night
A child is black, a child is white
Together they grow to see the light
To see the light

The world is black, the world is white
It turns by day and then by night
A child is black, a child is white
The whole world looks upon the sight
A beautiful sight

The world is black, the world is white
It turns by day and then by night
A child is black, a child is white
Together they grow to see the light
To see the light
