Story Behind The Song
This song says, "The world is such an ugly scene 'cause hate is deep inside our genes." I believe that this is true. But at the end of the song I point out that we DON'T have to succumb to the hate that is programmed inside us. NURTURE is the other way
Song Description
We've been marching for equality for all people for decades, but still we still have not achieved MLK's dream. We been demonstrating against war for my whole lifetime, and still we are at war. When will we achieve equality and peace? "Show me the day!"

Lyrics
The wind has blown this way before
When they fought to end that Asian war
We thought that peace was here to stay
Show me the day
I said, Show me the day!
It seemed the moment had arrived
When they marched way back in '65
You think Jim Crow has gone away?
Show me the day
I said, Show me the day!
Show me a new day dawning
End of this long black night
Show me we all are brothers
I had a dream last night!
The world is such an ugly scene
'Cause hate is deep inside our genes
You say that love will find away?
Show me the day
I said, Show me the day!
Show me a new day dawning
End of this long black night
Show me we all are brothers
I had a dream last night!
The world is such an ugly scene
'Cause hate is deep inside our genes
But nurture is the other way
Teach love today
Preach love today
Show me the way
I said, teach Charles Ray
