Colored People is a song by dc Talk that reminds us that all humans, regardless of race, need God's grace.

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
