Black Or White (And Step On It)

(album: Timeless Flight - 1976)

Behind the wall the ears of love are listening
Behind the door they kneel, behind the boy from whom we steal
Behind the dark, deserted halls of memory
Inside the sound 'Ahoy', we have just landed for employ

We need your hands to carry us to our joy
To black or white and step on it
Black or white and step on it
Black or white and step on it
Black or white

Between the shadow and uncertain colour
Between the word and sign, between the man and all his time
Between the sidewalk and the moving stairway
Between the yay and nay falls the truth we aim to slay

There falls the truth we do so righteous flay
Come black or white and step on it
Black or white and step on it
Black or white and step on it
Black or white

Until we gather life and all our dreams
Until we cool the heat, until we share our cup of meat
Until the trail of waiste is put to stud
Until we drift away towards the picture in the frame

Our celebration comes a game to play
Just black or white and step on it
Black or white and step on it
Black or white and step on it
Black or white and step on it
Black or white and step on it
Black or white and step on it
