Lyrics
Mother bore this southern child
Gray on matters black and white
Oh but brilliant beaming white
Or black as with little light
On Mother's lap she pointed east to say
The rising sun gives mercy, pity, peace away
To any and all with will to see
We must learn to bear these beams
One day, one day
We must learn to bear these beams
Work with mother in the field she'd say
The setting sun gives faith, hope, humanity
To any and all with will to see
We must learn to bear these beams
At Mother's side beneath a tree
Sun on her face, resting comfortably
Without a sound, I peek in her eye
A woman black, a bearer of light
Sun on her face, brilliant white
A woman black, a bearer of light
