The street is so cold
Like stone prison walls
A child growing old
All alone
The wind in your eyes
No tears ever fall
A man got to hide his tears

Black boy
I hope that you see
The loneliness ain't what it seems
Hold on to your dreams
Black boy
Black boy

You keep your eyes mean
Not a sign on your face
Or they'll pick you clean
Every time
Not one loving hand
To ease you on your way
No, you'll never, never, never, never, never, never
Land on your knees

Black boy
I hope that you see

The promise of the golden dream
Hold on to your dream
Black boy

I hope that you see
The loneliness, loneliness, loneliness ain't what it seems
Hold on to your dreams
Black boy

Black boy
Hold on to your dreams
Black boy
Black boy, yeah
Keep on believing in yourself
Black boy
Keep on, keep on, keep on
