Toy (Album Version)

[Verse 1]

Seems like everywhere I go

People stop and stare at me

And does it seem to you as though

I was just not meant to be?

But if the man thought me equal

Life could be so grand

Everybody get together with the people

And walk together hand in hand (Alright)

So why is every song I sing

In a minor key?

And do you realize that I'm after all these years

I'm still not free (Oh)

[Chorus]

But if we all go out and shout out loud

Someday we're gonna be together (Together, together)

Mmm (Ooh), hmm

We're gonna be together (Together, together)

Mmm, yeah yeah, oh (Ooh)

[Verse 2]

All I woulda had to do was to change my face

To be accepted as a brother

And just a few years ago we cried so hard (Yeah)

We was wishin' that we had been born white

And maybe a minute ago I tried so hard

To show you that this is just not right (No, no)

You've got to be proud

Of whatever you may be, yeah

And I'll say it out loud

I cannot go on living

Without being proud of me

[Verse 3]

Black people everywhere near and far

We've just got to agree

That unless you're respected

For who and what you are (Yeah)

How can you consider yourself free?

But oh, I'm proud

Oh, I'm black and I'm proud (Good God)

But does this mean that I'm down forever? (Mmm mmm)

[Chorus]

But if we all go out and shout out loud

Someday, someday, someday

We're gonna be together (Together, together)

Oh ho, we're gonna be together

We're gonna be together (Together, together)

Mmm, pick it up now

[Outro]

And we're gonna be (Everybody help me out)

We're gonna be

(Let's get a little togetherness in the audience right about now)

We're gonna be (We're gonna be together someday)

We're gonna be (Hey, hey, hey, we're gonna be together)

We're gonna be (Ooh)

We're gonna be (Yeah, yeah, yeah, mmm hmm)

We're gonna be (Woah)

We're gonna be (We're gonna be together someday, yeah)

We're gonna be (If we're gonna be together let me hear you say yeah)

We're gonna be (Hey, we're gonna be, yeah, yeah, yeah)

We're gonna be (Oh, we're gonna be, we're gonna be together)

We're gonna be

We're gonna be (Do you believe we're gonna be together?)

We're gonna be (Can you testify that we're gonna be together?)

We're gonna be (Alright, oh yeah, yeah, yeah)

We're gonna be (We're gonna be together)

We're gonna be (Mmm)

We're gonna be together
