Colored People lyrics

One, One,One,One-
Two,Two,Two,Two-
Three,Three,Three,Three-
Four,Four,Four,Four-
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

Chorus:
We`re colored people, and we live in a tainted place
We`re colored people, and they call 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?

**(Repeat Chorus)**

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

**(Repeat Chorus x2
