[Verse 1]
Come to my door, baby
Face is clean and shining black as night
My mother went to answer
And you looked so fine
Now I could understand your tears and your shame
She called you "boy" instead of your name
When she wouldn't let you inside
When she turned and said
"But honey, he’s not our kind"

[Chorus]
She says I can't see you any more, baby
Can't see you anymore

[Verse 2]
Walk me down to school, baby
Everybody’s acting deaf and blind
Until they turn and say
Why don't you stick to your own kind
My teachers don't laugh, they smirk and stare
Turn to me and then they heard me down there
Prеachers of equality
Said they bеlieve it
Then why won't they just let us be?
[Chorus]
They say I can't see you anymore, baby
Can't see you anymore

[Bridge]
One of these days I'm gonna stop my listening
Gonna raise my head up high
One of these days I'm gonna raise my glistening
Gonna spend my wings to fly
But that day will have to wait for a while
Yes, I’m just a society’s child
When we're older things may change
But for now, so far away they must remain

[Chorus]
They say I can’t see you anymore, baby
Can't see you anymore
I can't see you any more, baby
