	Story Behind the Song living in Hackney in a white minority area for 2 years has been good. Made me realise how much whites crap up the world and then try pass God on to others. Anyway let's face it this is just some kind of creed and I don't quite know why I wrote it except to say "yes, I know". Keep struggling to know what to do about it, but maybe knowing is part of the struggle and the answer for the time being. Support Jubilee 2000 everyone! Lyrics it's my hope that god is black / and loves the world beyond me / and the dreams of god react / to those who wait on their knees / it's my hope that god is brown / and understands every word / and for every head bowed down / a humble heart can be heard / and freedom will rise when the downcast claim their lives / and point to the guilty such as me / that justice is born when a selfish soul is torn / and stands to be counted with the weak / it's my hope that god is pink / and loves the lover in all / and where hate leaves hearts to sink / it finds no place to be stored / and confidence grows where the trust of strageness flows / and all can be welcomed and renewed / and all those who wait to be touched and still feel safe / can know that their god has made them good / it's my hope that god is white / and knows the mess of this world / and the power of appetite will not command the last word / but justice shall reign when the whole world knows the name / of jesus the stranger in the least / and systems decay that were built on greed and pain / and god's reign on earth has been released
