Colored People

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
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
Red and yellow, black and white
All of us, one in His sight
A piece of canvas is only the beginning for
It takes on character with every loving stroke
This thing of beauty is
The passion for 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?
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 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,
come together right now
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
Oh yeah, oh yeah, colored people,
Colored people, colored people, colored people
