Do not pay homage to rage, to sorrow,Save a few memories for tomorrow,In every moment play your part!For glory do not forsake your heartEmbrace the NOW with delight!To love, do not forfeit your right

Do not forfeit your happinessDont live your life in tokens shadowWhile there is sunshine in the meadows,Even if you are pennilessFor life itself is pure happiness.

Do not forfeit your right to prayIf obstacles happen on the way,There is no sin in honest toilSow all your seeds in fertile soil,Then share your bounty with thy neighbor.Do not forfeit the joys of labor.

Do not forfeit your right to live.Cherish your days, then close the chapter,Before embracing the ever after.Do not just forget, but forgive.Thus you can earn your right to liveForever

SongsBig Bill Broonzy, Black, Brown And White

This little song that I'm singin' about,People, you all know that it's true,If you're black and gotta work for livin',Now, this is what they will say to you,They says: If you was white,You's alright,If you was brown,Stick around,But if you's black, oh, brother,Get back, get back, get back.I was in a place one night,They was all havin' fun,They was all buyin' beer and wine,But they would not sell me none.They said: If you was white,You's alright,

If you was brown,You could stick around,But as you's black, hmm, hmm, brother,Get back, get back, get back.I went to an employment office,I got a number, I got in line,They called everybody's number,But they never did call mine.They said: If you was white,You's alright,If you was brown,You could stick around,But as you's black, hmm, hmm, brother,Get back, get back, get back.Me and a man was workin' side by side,Now, this is what it meant:They was payin' him a dollar an hour,And they was payin' me fifty cent.They said: If you was white,You'd be alright,If you was brown,You could stick around,But as you's black, oh, brother,Get back, get back, get back.I helped win sweet victories,With my plow and hoe,Now, I want you to tell me, brother,What you gonna do 'bout the old Jim Crow?Now, if you is white,You's alright,If you's brown,Stick around,But if you's black,Hmm, hmm, brother,Get back, get back, get back.
