Man in Black

(Album Version) - Jeb

You wonder why I always dress in black

Why you never see bright colors on my back

Why does my appearance

Seem to have a somber tone

Well there's a reason

For the things that I have on

I wear the black for the poor

And the beaten down

Living in the hopeless hungry side of town

And I wear it for the prisoner

Who's long paid for his crime

But is there because he's a victim of the times

I wear the black for those who've never read

Or listened to the words that Jesus said

About the road to happiness

Through love and charity

Why you'd think he's talking

Straight to you and me

Well we're doing mighty fine

I do suppose

In our streak of lightning cars and fancy clothes

But just so we're reminded

Of the ones who are held back

Up front there ought to be a Man In Black

I wear it for the sick and lonely old

And for the reckless ones

Whose bad trip left them cold

And I wear the black in mourning

For the lives that might have been

Each week we lose a hundred fine young men

And I wear it for the thousands who have died

Believing that the Lord was on their side

I wear it for another hundred thousand

Who have died

Believing that we all were on their side

Well there's things that never will be right

I know

And things need changing everywhere you go

But till we start to make a move

To make a few things right

You'll never see me wear a suit of white

And I'd love to wear a rainbow every day

And tell the world that everything's okay

But I'll try to carry off a little darkness

On my back

Till things are brighter

I'm the Man In Black
