What if White had been black, and black had been white

 

What if white had been black

And black had been white

Would it be same on left, and right?

Or would same things be wrong and right

What if white had been black

And black had been white

 

 

Would crows become prettier

And ducks become strange

Would wicked heart be black

and young get aged

would the printed books look different?

and the cloud mean the same

 

What if white had been black

And black had been white

Would it be same on left, and right?

Or would same things be wrong and right

What if white had been black

And black had been white

 

Would the glamour of white skin going to die?

Would black become a symbol of celebration

And white to mourn

Would everything fair and fairy be white

Can sunlight give darkness

And nights be bright

Does this change everything whatever is in sight

 

 

What if white had been black

And black had been white

Would it be same on left, and right?

Or, would same things be wrong and right

What if white had been black

And black had been white

 

Would Angels still wear white

And the demons black

Would white be still the symbol of purity

And still would heart bleed white

whitewash may actually mean a black wash

has convincing lie to be white

and gory tales dark

Does this change everything whatever is in sight

 

What if white had been black

And black had been white

Would it be same on left, and right?

Or would same things be wrong and right

What if white had been black

And black had been white

 

Who decided on what is white?

And what is black

If whoever christened it changes it

Would the world be better, peaceful and harmonious?

Can racism, hatred vanish from the earth

Let us try once and change white into black

And black into white

And forget about what is wrong and what is right.
