The boy and the girl

The boy and the girl, who were separated by miles
Dealing with segregation, making it hard for them to smile
The boy is living hard, Dad is out of a job
The year 1963 is actually pretty hard
The girls mama is dead, she's living on her own
Can't afford to go to school, she can't take out a loan
Both of them are smart, they know what's going on
Taking words out history books, they want the blacks gone
Questioning about life, why are we getting rob
Taking our freedom away, not giving us any jobs
The boy got tired, the girl got overwhelmed
Trying to take the pain, but it's a living hell
The boy stood up, and the girl arose
They had one plan in mind, to change the world
The boy and the girl!
