What is Black? Lyrics

Love

Sweet love

Sweet love

Sweet love

Drifting on a moonlit sea a starless night

Salt that grits between the teeth and stings the eyes

Lost souls that sought refuge

Under siege

An underworld

Black like the sky when day is done

Black like the world beyond the sun

The night swallows me whole

Not many can fathom that the heavens that the heavens lie between Black Earth and Black Sky

Do do do do

Sweet love

Sweet love

Sink into the belly of a mother's love (Sweet love Sweet love)

Plant the seed of plentiful abundant love (oh oh oh sweet love)

You know you got to have that sweet love (Sweet love)

You know you got to have that sweet love

Sink into the belly of a mother's love

Plant the seed of plentiful abundant love (that Black is Sweet love hey)

Blacker is the berry is the juice that nourishes the body and the spirit Black so blue (Black is sweet love oh)

Do do do do

Sweet love

Sweet love

Sink into the belly of a mother's love

Plant the seed of plentiful abundant love

Ah ah ah ah

You can't touch this Black (Sweet love)

This Black

This Black (Sweet love)

This Black is mine

This Black is mine

Blacker than the eyes of we who can see god

Blacker than the ashes Blacker than the smoke (oh oh oh oh sweet love)

This Black skin

This Black grin yeah (Sweet love)

Do do do do

Sweet love (Hey hey)

Sweet love (I got something to tell you I got something to tell you)

It's in the soul

It's in the core

It's in the very breath I take

Step on the shore

Close my eyes (deep down in my heart it's sweet love)

What is Black (do do do do)

What is blackness (do do do do)

Blackness is all creation (sweet love)

Blackness is all consuming (sweet love)

Blackness is life (do do do do)

Blackness is the night sky (do do do do sweet love)

What is Black

What is Black

Black is Black
