Darkness no longer, a child is born
Mother sheds tears of joy as baby test his lungs
My daddy's not there where he ought to be
Somewhere in Georgia, skinnin' and shootin' craps on his knees
Another victim born out here in the hood
And based on statistics it really ain't all good
Sister Mary, don't you weep
Tell mother not to moan, it's a new day
A new world order and a brand new day (it's a new day)
A change of mind for the human race (it's a new day)
A new world order, a brand new day (yeah)
A change of mind for the human race
Sister Mary, don't you weep, tell mother not to moan
We need the love and daddy's comin' home
We grew up merciful, my C.
There's still light in the world, come rejoice with me
Rejoice with me
Oh, let us teach the children that freedom's never been free

You must be merciful, my friend, to obtain the same
So if you break the chain, don't pass the blame
