[Shug]

God ain't some gloomy old man like the pictures you've seen of him

God ain't a man at all

[Shug]

God is inside you and everyone else

That was or ever will be

We come into this world with God

But only them who look inside find Him

God is the flowers and everything else

That was or ever will be

And when you feel the truth so real

And when you love the way you feel, you found Him

Just as sure as moonlight blessed the night

Like a plate of corn, like a honeybee

Like a waterfall, all a part of me

Like the color purple, where do it come from?

Open up your eyes, look what God has done

[Celie]

You better get back, your husband probably wonderin' where you are

[Shug]

Where you wanna be, Celie?

[Celie]

With you
