Colored People (10th Anniversary Version)

1, 1, 1, 1

2, 2, 2, 2

3, 3, 3, 3

4, 4, 4, 4Pardon 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 skinWe've gotta come together

And thank the Maker of us allWe'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

'Cause we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace1, 1, 1, 1

2, 2, 2, 2

3, 3, 3, 3

4, 4, 4, 4A 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 kaleidoscopeWe've gotta come together

Aren't we all human after all?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

'Cause we are colored people who depend on a holy graceIgnorance has wronged some races

And vengeance is the Lord's

If we aspire to share this space

Repentance is the cure1, 1, 1, 1

2, 2, 2, 2

3, 3, 3, 3

4, 4, 4, 4Well, 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 anatomyWe'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

'Cause we are colored people who depend on a holy graceWe'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, yellow, black and white

We're colored people, every man, woman, boy, and girl

Colored people, colored people, colored people, colored people, yeah
