mister spain
aretha franklin
i can feel your blackness
i can touch your whiteness
and your power. spain. yes
mister spain. they gon' put a star beside your name. yes they are
mister spain. i can speak your own language - if you listen
you will hear. i understand your crying
i understand your fear. and i know that you're lonely. yes
i do. and i know what you're missing - baby
don't you put another needle in your vein
please. i can feel it raining on your secrets and your dreams;
and i understand your reasons
and i know what you mean. yes i do
don't you let nobody's daughter feel your shame!
i can feel your blackness
i can touch your whiteness
and your power. so let me hear your laughter
you can turn around now. it's okay. mister spain!
they gon' put a star beside your name. laugh
