Colored People Lyrics - Singles - Talk Dc

Pardon me, your epidermis is showing 

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 gotta come together, and thank the maker of us all 

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 of mistakes 

And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace 

A piece of canvas is only the beginning 

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 gotta come together, aren't we all human after all? 

Ignorance has wronged some races 

And vengeance is the Lord's 

If we aspire to share this space 

Repentance is the cure 

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
