Colorblind

If you had a choice of your color

Could you tell me what it would be?

Red, yellow, brown, white or almond?

Transparent would work so good for me

It doesn't matter the color of your skin

But what matters is your heart and your soul and spirit down within

(Colorblind, what if we were colorblind?)

Would hatred remain?

How would we begin to heal the wounds inside

Of racism that has scarred our lives?

(Colorblind, what if we were colorblind?)

Could I be your neighbor then?

We could play golf and be friends

And place the past behind, oh

If we were colorblind, oh oh oh

She stood at the bus stop, waiting, patient

While the neighbors passed her by

At six years old (She really couldn't understand)

(N-n-no, n-n-no, no, no)

Why some of them turned and rolled their eyes

I was crushed by the moment

When Shannon turned and said, "Daddy, why?"

I tried to change the subject

But the pain remained, deep down inside

(Colorblind, what if we were colorblind?)

Could I be your neighbor then?

We could fellowship and be friends

And treat each other (Treat each other right)

(Treat each other right)

If we were colorblind

Oh oh oh oh

Listen to this

Hatred never hurts the one that's being hated

When you to treat me bad, I start to feel violated

(Humble myself)

(I pray, for He shall heal the land)

What if we were

(Colorblind, what if we were colorblind?)

Would hatred still remain?

How would we begin to heal the wounds inside

Of racism that has scarred all of our lives?

(Colorblind, what if we were colorblind?)

Could I live beside you then?

Maybe we could be friends

And leave the past behind, leave it behind

Can you be colorblind? (Colorblind)

Colorblind (Colorblind)

Right could replace the wrong (Colorblind)

Bank would give you a loan if we were (Colorblind)

When I walk in the store, bells end up ringing (Colorblind)

Manager would not snap his finger (Colorblind)

(Colorblind)

I wouldn't be so misunderstood (Colorblind)

I wouldn't have gone to jail

For riding my bike in my own neighborhood (Colorblind)

So be encouraged and keep your head up today (Colorblind)

I'm so glad God, He don't see us that way

Yeah, yeah (Colorblind)
