1. Colored People

   dc Talk

   Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, sir
   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

   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?

   [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

   [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]

@BeauJangles thank you! I love music! Recently I’ve been listening to brown skin girl by Beyoncé as it is really uplifting and helps me get through these issues. Thanks to you now I have another song to encourage me ?
