McCarthy's Day

This is just a song to say

That I'm proud for what they are

And I hope my world can take me

Half that far

Way back in mccarthy's day

My parents left the usa

Young rebellious lovers

They left behind a nation far too proud

And powerful to say

That love transcends all colors

Some black men turned against my father

Some white men turned against my mother

Each race has their place they all would say

And with a past so battle worn

And a future begging to be born

They found a life that's growing still today

And glancing thru the years

And living thru their fears

I hope they can accept my goals

A bit confused, a bit unclear

And all the years behind me now

Seem like a book I've read and yet somehow

I still don't understand all the words

All the black and all the white

That rest in me that make me fight

Remind me of all the knowledge left to learn

Still some black men turned against my father

Some white men turned against my mother

Each race has their place they all would say

With a past so battle worn

And a future begging to be born

They found a life that's growing still today

And glancing thru the years

And living thru their fears

I hope they can accept my goals

A bit confused, a bit unclear

This is just a song to say that I'm proud for what they are

And I hope my world can take me half that far
