Black Man

If Jesus Christ
Had been a black man
There would be indifference
The color of his purple skin
If jesus christ
Had been a black man....Had been a black man
Um homem de cor
A mesma mensagem de fé e de amor
Teria o santo o mesmo andor?
E apesar da negra cor
Você teria o mesmo amor?
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
If Jesus Christ
Had been a black man
There would be indifference
The color of his purple skin
If Jesus Christ
Had been a black man....Had been a black man
A mesma paixão
A mesma nobreza no gesto da mão
O mesmo brother
Um negro irmão
Se ele fosse esse negão
Você lhe beijaria a mão?
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
If Jesus Christ
Had been a black man
There would be indifference
The color of his purple skin
If Jesus Christ
Had been a black man....Had been a black man
Um negro legal
Palavras e gestos
Amor sem igual
Discriminado, anjo marginal
E essa toda devoção
Seria exatamente igual
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
If jesus christ
Had been a black man
There would be indifference
The color of his purple skin
If Jesus Christ
Had been a black man....Had been a black man
If Jesus Christ
Had been a black man
There would be indifference
The color of his purple skin
If Jesus Christ
Had been a black man....Had been a black man....
If Jesus Christ
Had been a black man
There would be indifference
The color of his purple skin
If Jesus Christ
Had been a black man....Had been a black man
If jesus christ
Had been a black man
There would be indifference
The color of his purple skin
If Jesus Christ
Had been a black man....Had been a black man
If Jesus Christ
Had been a black man
There would be indifference
The color of his purple skin
If Jesus Christ
Had been a black man....Had been a black man...
