Oppression
Now dreams / Are not available
Let the rain kiss you
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops
Let the rain sing you a lullaby
The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk
The rain makes running pools in the gutter
The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at night
And I love the rain.
Now dreams / Are not available
I could take the Harlem night / and wrap around you,
What happens to a dream deferred? / Does it dry up
My old man's a white old man / And my old mother's black.
