Lyrics for Margaret Garner

My black baby Dark and lovely Your skin divine God has made you shine So glisten for the world And smile, my baby girl Sparkle like your hair The beauty that we share My black baby Love yourself for me Let yourself be free It's our destiny My black baby Will you forgive me? Let me set you free Let us both be- My black baby My black baby Dark and lovely My black baby My black baby
