Ben Harper - Black Beauty Lyrics

Beautiful
So beautiful
Beautiful
So beautiful

I'm an astronaut
I'm a president
I'm a revolutionary (yes, I am)
I'm your neighbor
We are black, we are black
We are beautiful
So beautiful (so beautiful)

I'm a son and I'm a daughter
A teacher and a farmer (a teacher and a farmer)
A race car driver (ooh)
A poet and astronomer (a poet and astronomer)
We are black, we are black
We are beautiful
So beautiful (so beautiful)

Beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful

From the creator is all of creation
Reimagine your imagination
In the balance, the fate of a nation
Fate of a nation, fate of a nation
Evolution without revolution
Breeds a racist institution
Part of the problem or the solution
Don't pretend not to see and expect absolution

I'm not what you think I am
I'm not what they say I am
I rise up and I take my stand
I am whatever I dream to be
We are black
We are beautiful (so beautiful)
So beautiful (yeah)
We are beautiful
So beautiful (so beautiful)
We are black, we are black
We are beautiful (yeah, yeah)
We are beautiful (so beautiful)
We are beautiful (so beautiful)
We are black and beautiful
Black and beautiful
Black and beautiful
Black and beautiful (yes, we are, yeah)
Black and beautiful
