My skin is brown
like the Earth way down,
my veins as long as roots.
My hair is twisted
like wandering vines
My god, I am Nature too.
My tears are waves
like ocean spray,
my eyes carry the tide like moons.
My legs are wings
that carry me
like Eagles, I am Nature too.
My whisper is like the wind,
my heart beats like rivers do.
I am Black. I am proud.
But my god, I am Nature too.

My skin is brown
like the Earth way down,
my veins as long as roots.
My hair is twisted
like wandering vines
My god, I am Nature too.
My tears are waves
like ocean spray,
my eyes carry the tide like moons.
My legs are wings
that carry me
like Eagles, I am Nature too.
My whisper is like the wind,
my heart beats like rivers do.
I am Black. I am proud.
But my god, I am Nature too.
