Bm Gadd9 Em7
Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, mister
Bm Gadd9 Em7 G A
I couldn't help but note your shade of melanin
Bm Gadd9 Em7
I tip my hat to the colourful arrangement
Bm Gadd9 Em7
Cause I see the beauty in the tones of our skin
Cadd9 G A
We've gotta come together and thank the maker of us all
D A G
We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place
D A G
We're colored people, and they call us the human race
D A G
We've got a history so full of mistakes
D A G
And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace
A7 D/F# A7 D/F#
1...1...1...1...2...2...2...2...3...3...3...3...4...4...4...4...
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?
Bm F#5
Ignorance has wronged some races
Bm F#5
And vengeance is the Lord's
Bm F#5
If we aspire to share this space
Em C A
Repentance is the cure

Well, just a day in the shoes of a color blind man
A G
Should make it easy for you to see
D
A G
As a part of our anatomy
