Texty: Nicole C. Mullen. Black Light.

:
Hopped in my car
Went down to Birmingham, Alabama
(There I) went to the museum of civil rights
And got a lesson in suffering
(There I) saw the likes of Rosa Parks,
Medgar Evers, Dr. Martin Luther King
And I got all emotional singin? ?we shall overcome?,
?Let freedom ring?

I?m looking for a boy looking for a girl
Who?s got a dream inside to change the world
Give me a lady
Come on give me a man
Who?s strong enough to take stand (and be a)

Black light, a candle in the darkness
Black light courageous and strong
?Til there is no more bigotry and madness
All it takes is a spark, and the fire will burn on and on

I stood on my front porch with all the lights out
Guess what I was seeing
There was a myriad of diamonds
Flung out across a velvet sky
And it served to remind me of the
Perseverance of those before me
?Cause the darker the night the
Brighter the starlights are gonna shine

I?m looking for a boy looking for a girl
Who?s got a dream inside to change the world
Give me a lady
Come on give me a man
Who?s strong enough to take a stand (and be a)

Black light, a candle in the darkness
Black light courageous and strong
?Til there is no more bigotry and madness
All it takes is a spark, and
the fire will burn on and on
