Colors of the World


We all deserve a chance right? To fight with all our might for what we believe is right Why should we let people tell us who we are? They act like we're inferior and say we won't go far But they're intimidated by the strength they see inside It makes them act superior but they really want to hide I'm not sure why people feel they need to put others down They make fun of your features and your color and your sound White is right, they say, with all their money and their praise Black is dirty and uncivilized is also what they say But one magical day in history made things completely change The rules of society became rearranged This country got the civil rights that makes things fair We have freedom and limits that we all share Black and white can live together with all their flaws We won't have to worry about people having extra laws Peace and community is what we have to strive for All colors of the world should be able to soar
