Color - Nicole C. Mullen

Just because my skin is brown

It don’t define who I am

I could be a porcupine

Or I could be a little lamb

Please don’t try and judge me Only by the colors you have seen

To love me is to know me Whether red, yellow, black or green

Color is skin deep

But true beauty lives on and on Color is skin deep

But true beauty lives on and on Her skin might be ivory

And he might be from Japan

But that don’t make a better woman

That don’t make a lesser man

Please don’t try to judge 'em

Only by the colors you have seen

To love 'em is to know 'em

Whether red, yellow, white, or green

(Bridge)

Color is the shape of the rainbow

Color is the tint of the sky

It’s not a person, place or thing

It’s only a description of you and I Like the colors on the frame of a house

Will not tell you of the colors within

So why would I try to judge

A man by the shade of his skin?
