It depends upon what you tell them Magic is only make-believe And our children do not need to grow up in a make-believe world You need to tell them the truth and help make them feel proud of who they are The magic of truth is much more powerful than magic of make-believe But what can I tell them? Tell them that they're beautiful, tell them that they're Black Here, take hold of my wing and I will take you to someone Who can give you something even better than magic
