If I Were White

If I were white, Would my life finally be right?
If I were white, Maybe I wouldn't live in fright.
If I were white, Maybe I wouldn't be their blight.
If I were white, She wouldn't clutch her pearls so tight.
If I were white...

If I were white, the job I want would be in sight. 
And maybe I'd be just as bright, 
And maybe they'd teach me to write 
If I were white... 

If I were white, Maybe I'd fly high as a kite. 
And if we were white, Mama and Papa would be alright. 
If I were white...
