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've gotta come together
and thank the maker of us all
and we live in a tainted place
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 for
it takes on character with every loving stroke
this thing of beauty is the passion of an artist's heart
we are a skin kaleidoscope
we've gotta come together
aren't we all human after all?
and we live in a tainted place
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
ignorance has wronged some races
and vengeance is the lord's
if we aspire to share this space
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
and we live in a tainted place
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
and they call us the human race
and we all gotta share this space
and we live in a tainted world
