The Dialogue

from Kaleidoscope by Jack Alberson

/

about

White friends, we can always do better. Talking about it is a starting point.

lyrics

You sent it in a telegram, like that makes it a secret
And the desperation was received, but I don't wanna hear it
You wanna claim the wonders and keep them shackled to land
The world you know from magazines through the eyes of a blind man
And sometimes, I see us trying
Some of us are learning, past denying
It's not directly our fault,
But the history of our skin makes us complicit

You said your rights were stripped away, just like you're in a prison
But you've never known a jail cell, you've never been hemmed in
Life for us is comfort that's not afforded to all
And I wish there were no margins, no lines to divide us at all
Believe me, I've been tone-deaf too
And I have a lot to learn, just like you
So stand up and share this weight
We can learn and rise above before it's too late.
