DIFFERENT COLOURS / ONE
PEOPLE
Breaking those barriers
all over the world
was not an easy thing
Yesterday your mouth was shut
couldn't make a sound ey boy
But it's such a good feeling today
when I can hear them from
across the ocean singing
this song
That the whole world should be
singing
all the time
CHORUS:
We are different colours / one
people
We are different colours / one
people
We are different colours / one
people
We are different colours / one
people
Hey you government
Never try to separate the people
Hey you politician
never try to separate the people
They were created in the image of
God
And who are you to separate
them
Bible says, he made man in his
image
but it didn't say black or white
You look at me you see BLACK
I look at you I see WHITE
Now is the time to kick that away
and join me in my song
CHORUS:
We are different colours / one
people (x4)
Hey you politician never separate
the people Hey man hey you man
never separate the people
Some were from America
We were from South Africa
Some were from Japan - yo
We were from China
Some were from Australia
We were from the U.K.
Some were from Zimbabwe
We were from Ghana
Some were from Jamaica
We were from Russia
Some were from Aha-ha-ha
We were from Uhu-hu-hu
