Little white boy   He had a black friend   They played kick the can   Cowboys and indians      And they were gonna be the best of friends   They were gonna be together until the end      Oh the innocence of a child   They would rather laugh and smile   Iwish we had their frame of mind   Then we would all be colorblind   Oh yes we would      Little black girl   She as a white friend   They played hide and go seek,   Hide and go seekin'   Ring around the rosy, yeah      And they were gonna be the best of friends   They were gonna be together until the end      Oh the innocence of a child   They would rather laugh and smile   Iwish we had their frame of mind   Then we would all be colorblind      The fires we started steadly   Burn, burn, burn, burn   Hate must of been something our father's learned   Learned, learned, learned   Cause when we were little   There was never black or white   White, white, white   We are all just alive      Oh the innocence of a child   They would rather laugh and smile   I wish we had their frame of mind   Then we would all be colorblind      Oh the innocence of a child   They would rather laugh and smile   I wish we had their frame of mind   Then we would all be colorblind
