It has been widely spread that listening english song is a highly effective  way to study english.But when I was young, I did't spent any time on that.I love english very much although sometimes I do not distinguish the lyrics in the song.Today ,I will recommend an old song to you. It's old because you ,the reader,must have listened more songs than me.I recommend and write the lyric of the song for the purpose of enjoying the song ,feeling the culture of the song and learning the lyrics for writting.

 

l、<love is color blind>

This song is sung by sarah connor in the album  key to my soul issued in 2003. It focused on racial discrimination calling on all the people around the world join this fight.

 

UN secretary General Annan said that every country in the world,without exception are the dangers of racism,it poisoned the community,undermining world peace efforts.The most famouse lecture about racialism is I have a dream by  Martin Luther King.The lyrics of song are clear and easy to understand. no any slogan in it.The melody is accessable to everybody.Maybe it's suitable for you to bob the head with the music.

 

quoting Martin's words ends this description.'I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up, live up to the true meaning of its creed:we hold these truths to be self-evident;that all men are created equal'.

 

lyric of the song:

 

It don't matter if you're black
White or yellow, if you're brown or red
Let's get down to that
Love is color-blind

[Verse 1:]
I remember when
I was a child and couldn't understand
People having fun
Discriminating all the different ones
Mama just used to say
When you grow up you'll maybe find a way
To make these people see
That everything I do comes back to me

[Bridge:]
You gotta live your live
We're all the same, no one's to blame
They gotta live their lives
Just play the game and let love reign

[Chorus:]
It don't matter if you're black
White or yellow, if your brown or red
Let's get down to that
Love is color-blind
You're my brother, you're my friend
All that matters in the very end
Is to understand
Love is color-blind

[TQ:]
I remember as a young boy
I watched my neighbourhood go up in flames
I saw the whole thang through tears of pain
And a situation's rackin' my brain
I wish I could fly away and never come back again
We need some love you all
We need some real deal help from above you all
I mean the kids watchin'
And I just can't see it stoppin', I don't understand
I mean we all bleed the same blood, man!

[Bridge:]
You gotta live your life
Better than our fathers did
Let's make some love, baby, have some kids
They gotta live their lives
And I don't care what color they are, or you are, or we are
It's all love, baby!

[C-Part:]
You have been my mother
You could have been my brother
What if you were my sister
If you were my father?
You could have been my fella
You could have been my teacher
What if you were my friend?
Would be so nice to meet ya

[Verse 2:]
Take it out to the world
Tell every boy and every little girl
Be proud of yourself
Cause you're as good as anybody else
Put away your prejudice
Open your mind, don't need a stick to this
Try to make this earth
A better place without a racial curse

[TQ:]
Yeah, it's time for some changes
