Lyrics
Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, mister I couldn't help but note your shade of melanin I tip my hat to the colourful arrangement Cause I see the beauty in the tones of our skin We've gotta come together And thank the maker of us all We're coloured people, and we live in a tainted place We're coloured people, and they call us the human race We've got a history so full of mistakes And we are coloured people who depend on a Holy Grace 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 gotta come together Aren't we all human after all? We're coloured people, and we live in a tainted place We're coloured people, and they call us the human race We've got a history so full of mistakes And we are coloured people who depend on a Holy Grace 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 We're coloured people, and we live in a tainted place We're coloured people, and they call us the human race We've got a history so full of mistakes And we are coloured people who depend on a Holy Grace
