Dc Talk - Colored People lyrics

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
