[Intro]
When out of men's hearts hate is hurled
Baby, baby, you'll live in a better world

[Verse 1]
Brown baby
Brown baby
As you grow up
I want you to drink from the plenty cup
I want you to stand up tall and proud
And I want you to speak up clear and loud

[Verse 2]
Brown baby
Brown baby
Brown baby
As years go by
I want you to go with your head up high
I want you to live by live by the justice code
And I want you to walk down freedom's road

[Verse 3]
Brown baby
So lie away
Lie away sleeping
Lie away sleeping, lie away sleeping
Lie away safe in my arms
It makes me glad
You are gonna have things I never had
[Outro]
Brown baby
Brown baby
Brown baby
