"Society's Child," Janis Ian. Sad, sad song.
Come to my door, baby
Face is clean and shining black as the night
My mother went to answer you know
That you looked so fine
Now, I could understand
Your tears and your shame
She called you "boy" instead of your name
When she wouldn't let you inside
When she turned and said
But honey, he's not our kind
She says, I can't see you any more, baby
Can't see you anymore
Walk me down to school, baby
Everybody's acting deaf and blind
Until they turn and say
Why don't you stick to your own kind
My teachers all laugh
Their smirking stares
Cutting deep down in our affairs
Preachers of equality
Think they believe it
Then why won't they just let us be
They say, I can't see you anymore, baby
Can't see you anymore
One of these days I'm gonna stop my listening
Gonna raise my head up high
One of these days
I'm gonna raise up my glistening wings and fly
But that day will have to wait for a while
Baby I'm only society's child
When we're older things may change
But for now this is the way they must remain
I say, I can't see you anymore, baby
Can't see you anymore
No, I don't want to see you anymore, baby

Look Away by Hootie and the Blowfish (blk guy/wht girl), Heartspark Dollar Sign by Everclear (blk girl/wht guy), Colorblind by Counting Crows *i think*...all from male POV...the first two don't really end on an obviously high note, but depending on the listener interpretation, one might discern a happy ending from Heart Spark Dollar Sign...Oh and Long Way to Go by Gwen Stefani and Andre 3000...

Brother Louie, is that the title? Found it!
"Brother Louie"
(As recorded by Stories)
E. BROWN
T. WILSON
She was black as the night
Louie was whiter than white
Danger, danger when you taste brown sugar
Louie fell in love overnight.
Nothing bad, it was good
Louie had the best girl he could
When he took her home to meet his mama and papa
Louie knew just where he stood.
Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie
Louie, Louie, Louie, Lou-I
Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie
Louie, Louie you're gonna cry.
There he stood in the night
Knowing what's wrong from what's right
He took her home to meet his mama and papa
Man he had a terrible fight
Louie nearly caused a scene
Wishin' it was a dream
Ain't no diff'rence if you're black or white
Brothers you know what I mean.
Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie
Louie, Louie, Louie, Lou-I-I
Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie
Louie, Louie you're gonna cry-y.
Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie
Louie, Louie, Louie, Lou-I
Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie
Louie, Louie you're gonna cry.
Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie
Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie, Lou-I
Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie
Louie, Louie you're gonna cry.
Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie
Louie, Louie, Louie, Lou-I.

Also, a very old song from the 1960's called "Down in the Boondocks" by Billy Joe Royal. About a guy from the wrong side of the tracks who is in love with a well-to-do girl who's daddy is his "bossman".

INXS
from the album "The Swing" 1984
"Original Sin"
You might know of the original sin
And you might know how to play with fire
But did you know of the murder committed
In the name of love - yeah
You thought what a pity
Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
And wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed away
There was a time when I did not care
And there was a time when the facts did stare
There is a dream and it's held by many
Well I'm sure you had to see
It's open arms
Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
And wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed away
You might know of the original sin
And you might know how to play with fire
But did you know of the murder committed
In the name of love - yeah
You thought what a pity
Dream on white boy
Dream on black girl
Then wake up to a brand new day
Dream on black boy
Dream on white girl
And waked up to a brand new day
To find your dreams have washed away
Dream on black boy
Dream on white girl
And wake up to a brand new day
To find your dreams are washed away
Dream on, play with fire
White boy, black girl
Dream on, in the name of love
Black boy, white girl
Dream on, white boy, black girl
Black boy, white girl
Dream on, the name of love - yeah
You thought what a pity
Original Sin

there's one by FeFe Dobson, I dont remember the name though, look up her lyrics and it goes something like this-
"take me away, take me far away from here, I will run with you.
Dont be afraid, navigate and I will steer into the sun we will run...."
