[00:00.28](Right now I would like to do a song for you
[00:02.55]That I wrote my recent record
[00:06.43]That I wrote about
[00:07.73]Well it’s about a lot of people
[00:10.28]That I’ve met throughout the country
[00:13.05]Throughout the world people that mean a lot to me)
[00:17.84]
[00:26.35]Well, you wonder why I always dress in black
[00:31.37]Why you never see bright colors on my back
[00:36.32]And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone
[00:41.21]Well, there’s a reason for the things that I have on
[00:46.31]I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down
[00:51.54]Livin’ in the hopeless, hungry side of town
[00:56.26]I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime
[01:01.22]But is there because he’s a victim of the times
[01:06.32]I wear the black for those who never read
[01:11.23]Or listened to the words that Jesus said
[01:16.21]About the way to happiness through love and charity
[01:20.88]Why, you’d think He’s talking straight to you and me
[01:25.42]Well, we’re doin’ mighty fine, I do suppose
[01:31.03]In our streak of lightnin’ cars and fancy clothes
[01:35.93]But just so we’re reminded of the ones who are held back
[01:40.98]Up front there ought ‘a be a Man in Black
[01:45.95]I wear it for the sick and lonely old
[01:50.89]For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold
[01:55.84]I wear the black in mournin’ for the lives that could have been
[02:00.89]Each week we lose a hundred fine young men
[02:05.47]And, I wear it for the thousands who have died
[02:09.58]Believin’ that the Lord was on their side
[02:15.68]I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died
[02:20.60]Believin’ that we all were on their side
[02:25.23]Well, there’s things that never will be right I know
[02:30.48]And things need changin’ everywhere you go
[02:35.36]But ’til we start to make a move to make a few things right
[02:40.46]You’ll never see me wear a suit of white
[02:44.71]Ah, I’d love to wear a rainbow every day
[02:50.24]And tell the world that everything’s ok
[02:54.92]But I’ll try to carry off a little darkness on my back
[02:59.77]’Till things are brighter, I’m the Man in Black
[03:05.91]
[03:20.21](Thank you very much)
