Different Colours Songtext
von Lucky Dube

Breaking those barriers
All over the world
Was not an easy thing
Yesterday your mouth was shut, yeah
Couldn′t make a sound, eh 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
Oh

We′re different colors (One people)
Different colors (One people)
Different colors (One people)
Different colors (One people)
We got different colors (One people)
Different colors


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?
Father said he made man in his image
But he didn't say black or white
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

We're different colors (One people, different colors)
One people, different colors (Nice people, different colors)
One people, different colors (One people, different colors)

Hey, you politician
Never try to separate the people, yeah
Hey, you man, hey, you man
Never try to separate the people, oy


Some were from America
We were from South Africa
Some were from Japan, yeah
We were from China
Some were from Australia
We were from the UK
Some were from Zimbabwe
We were from Ghana
Some were from Jamaica
We were from Russia
Some were from ah-ha-ha-ha
We were from Bohol
Sing me a song, yeah

Different colors (One people, different colors)
Different colors, one people (One people, different colors)
Baby boy, sing a song now
(Nice people, different colors)
(One people, different colors)
Be a nice person, yeah
(One people, different colors)
Baby boy, sing a song
(Nice people) Nice people
