Song Lyrics

[1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4]

Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, mister
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

(chorus)
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

[1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4]

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`ve gotta come together,
Aren`t we all human after all?

(repeat chorus)

Ignorance has wronged some races
And vengeance is the Lord`s
If we aspire to share this space
Repentance is the cure

[1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4]

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

(repeat chorus)

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 somehow]
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
[Colored people, colored people, colored people, colored people, yeah]
