If I was a black girl in this state,
I'd turn my head, I'd learn how to hate.
But I'm no woman, her name is Andy,
got two kids, Paula and Candy.
They hold their heads up and look at you,
and they will not wear a white
If I was a red girl in this land,
I'd hold an arrow in my hand
Let me look into her eyes,
and I did not see a white disguise
I don't know if I could be
liv ing in that cage an d still be free
Cause I am a white girl, I'm not white,
I'll bear no shame, but I'll carry no pride
But open the door and cut the wire
Melt the ice and drown the fire
We got to go on, we're not through
Till everyone has washed away
And everyone has washed away
I just don't know if I could ever be
And still, and still be free
Cause I am a white girl, I'll not hide
I'll bear no shame, but I'll carry no pride
But open the door and cut the wire
Melt the ice and drown the fire
We gotta go on, we're not through
Till everyone has washed away
And everyone has washed away
And everyone has washed away
