THE BLACK FAMILY TREE

Eternity embraces The Black Family, 
 Its members are all grand.
 Eternity embraces The Black Family,
 Dear Lord, you have helped us to stand.

Against all that has tried to divide us,
 You've continued to protect and to guide us.
 There were difficult times in our past,
 Yet, countless achievements are found;
 It is the strength of our Black Family,
 That gives us solid ground.

From Kings in Africa it seems,
 To America's King and his dreams;
 From the stories once told by the drums
 To the spirituals, continually sung.

Our history is preserved and made whole;
 For in every significant achievement,
 There is a Black Family story to unfold.

For the most powerful roots in history,
 Are those that anchor The Black Family Tree.
