DC Talk Album: Greatest Hits Track: Colored People Colored People Lyrics 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 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 Ignorance has wronged some races And vengeance is the Lord's If we aspire to share this space Repentance is the cure 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 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 We're colored people, and they call us the human race We're colored people, and we all gotta share this space We're colored people, and we live in a tainted world We're colored people, every man, woman, boy, and girl From the album Jesus Freak Produced by Toby McKeehan and Mark Heimermann Written by Toby McKeehan and George Coocchini ©1995 Up In The ix Music/Tigerback Music (BMI)
