作词 : Cocchini, McKeehan | |
Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, sir | |
I couldn't help but note your shade of melanin | |
I tip my hat to the colorful arrangement | |
Cause i see the beauty in the tones of our skin | |
We've gotta come together | |
And thank the maker of us all | |
(chorus) | |
We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place | |
We're colored people, and they call us the human race | |
We've got a history so full of mistakes | |
And we are colored people who depend on a holy grace | |
[1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4] | |
A piece of canvas is only the beginning for | |
It takes on character with every loving stroke | |
This thing of beauty is the passion of an artist's heart | |
By god's design, we are a skin kaleidoscope | |
We've gotta come together, | |
Aren't we all human after all? | |
(repeat chorus) | |
Ignorance has wronged some races | |
And vengeance is the lord's | |
If we aspire to share this space | |
Repentance is the cure | |
[1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4] | |
Well, just a day in the shoes of a color blind man | |
Should make it easy for you to see | |
That these diverse tones do more than cover our bones | |
As a part of our anatomy | |
(repeat chorus) | |
We're colored people, and they call us the human race | |
[oh, colored people] | |
We're colored people, and we all gotta share this space | |
[yeah we've got to come together somehow] | |
We're colored people, and we live in a tainted world | |
[red and yellow, black and white] | |
We're colored people, every man, woman, boy, and girl | |
[colored people, colored people, colored people, colored people, yeah] |
