Choice of Colors - Single Version

If you had a choice of color
 Which one would you choose my brothers
 If there was no day or night
 Which would you prefer to be right
 How long have you hated your white teacher
 Who told you, you love your black preacher
 Do you respect your brother's woman friend
 And share with black folks not of kin
 People must prove to the people
 A better day is coming for you and for me
 With just a little bit more education
 And love for our nation
 Would make a better society
 Now some of us would rather cuss and make a fuss
 Than to bring about a little trust
 But we shall overcome our beliefs someday
 If you'll only listen to what I have to say
 And how long have you hated your white teacher
 Who told you, you love your black preacher
 Can you respect your brother's woman friend
 And share with black folks not of kin
 I said now people must prove to the people
 A better day is coming for you and for me
 With just a little bit more education
 And love for our nation
 Would make a better society
 And if you had a choice of colors
 Which one would you choose my brothers
 If there was no day or night
 Which would you prefer to be right
 And If you had a choice of colors
 Which one would you choose my brothers
 If there was no day or night
 Which would you prefer to be right
