Be of good nerve
Make cloudy cheers your foe
Tattoo your smile in gladness
Make joy home
Walk in utmost fortitude,
If creation be a Ruth
As to guise your skin black.
If creation be a Ruth
As to guise your skin black.
Who despices black in her beauty?
Who dare reject her in her strength?
Hey! Let's muse on her hues,
Let's dance to the tune of her luster,
In the wholeness of her splendor.
Her hand is a moxie so strong,
With royalty running through her blood vessels,
And bravery in her strands!
She stands as the untamed beauty.
Black the untamed beauty
Home to the risen sun
On heals she walks up hills
Who else can stand so tough?
In the toughness of her sleek legs lies her attracting aplomb,
Leaving brazen footprints of enamour
She walks with the dignity of a lion,
And then lies majestically in wait for her friendly foes.
Foes who promised unending glow
Yet, set her whole in flame
To guide them home.
Black is original
Embrace and be of good cheer,
If you wear the true colour of God.
