My little boy came and sat on my knee,
With picture and crayons in his hand.
He said, "When I grow up,
This is the man I want to be.
Daddy, what color is a man?
"When I'm a man I want to be happy.
I want to be strong and free.
I want to be brave like a soldier.
What crayon should I use to color me?"

((If you color him red, son,))
((Someone may steal his land.))
((If you color him green or yellow,))
((He may be jealous and cowardly.))
If you color him black, son,
He may never be free."
Then I told my son, "Put your crayons away.
And try your best to understand.
Man is never made of any color,
And color never made any man a man."
(Color never made any man.)
"Color never made any man ((a man, a man."))
