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 so full 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
