Colored People
by: DC Talk
Intro: D, A, G (repeat during 1.2.3.4)
Bm A G
Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, sir
Bm A G
I couldnt help but note your shade of melanin
Bm A G
I tip my hat to the colorful arrangement
Bm A G
Cause I see the beauty in the tones of our skin
Em
Weve gotta come together
A D
And thank the maker of us all
(chorus)
D A G
Were colored people, and we live in a tainted place
D A G
Were colored people, and they call us the human race
D A G
Weve got a history so full of mistakes
D A G
And we are colored people who depend on a holy grace
Bm A G
A piece of canvas is only the beginning for
Bm A G
It takes on character with every loving stroke
Bm A G
This thing of beauty is the passion of an artists heart
Bm A G
By gods design, we are a skin kaleidoscope
Em
Weve gotta come together,
A D
Arent we all human after all?
(repeat chorus)
Bm
Ignorance has wronged some races
Bm
And vengeance is the Lords
Bm
If we aspire to share this space
G
Repentance is, Repentance is the cure
(Intro 2x)
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)
D A G D, A, G
Were colored people, and they call us the human race
D A G D, A, G
Were colored people, and we all gotta share this space
D A G D, A, G
Were colored people, and we live in a tainted world
D A G D, A, G
Were colored people, every man, woman, boy, and girl
D, A, G repeat to end
