Lyrics
She got into a battle with her Granddad
The subject is as old as the generation gap
She can't believe he's so uptight, he's mad that her best friend's not White
She doesn't understand...it makes her awfully sad
She'd trade the midnight blue in the morning sky
She'd give up every shade of grn evry tree in sight
And she'd kiss red goodbye, andnever shed a tear
Let the gold in every sunset fade away from here
Cause fear would nevr win skin would just be skin
If we were colorblind
He got into a battle with his Grandma
The subject is exhausting ancient dialogue
He can't believe that she's so mad, she's angry his best friend's not Black
He wishes it would chng it brings him so much pain
He'd trade the midnight blue in the morning sky
He'd give up evry shade of grn in evry tree n sight
And he'd kiss red goodbye, and never shed a tear
Let the gold in every sunset fade away from here
Cause fear would never win, and skin would just be skin
If we were colorblind
And if Jesus loves them Red and Yellow, Black and White
Why can't WE get it right?
I'd trade the midnight blue in the morning sky
I'd give up every shade of green in every tree in sight
And I'd kiss red goodbye, and never shed a tear
Let the gold in every sunset fade away from here
Cause fear would never win,
We could let love in
And skin would just be skin......
If we were colorblind.....If we were colorblind....
Colorblind
