Verses

1 - Little black girl sitting on the rug, laid on the concrete floor<br>
Its very quiet, nearly dark, Be strong, little one, be strong<br>

2 - You lift your face and stare, up at the homemade lamp
Its flicker catches tears in your eyes, Be strong, little one, be strong<br>

3 - The windows are open, but the air is hot, Crickets make noises that<br>
sound like rhythmns to a song, Be strong, little one, be strong

Chorus

Its warm but you are lonely, its peaceful but you wish the sadness would go away,<br>Be strong, little one, be strong<br>

You think maybe no-one will come for you again

No mother for you, only the cruel ones who say, no-one wanted you.

be strong, little one, be strong
