Lyrics Different Colours, One People - 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
All the time

We're different colors
(One people)
Different colors
(One people)

Different colors
(One people)
Different colors
(One people)

They got different colors
(One people)
Different colors

Hey you government
Never try to seperate the people
Hey you politician
Never try to separate the people, hey

They were created in the image of God
And who are you to separate them
Bible says, he made man in his image
But it 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

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 separate the people here
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 U.K.
Some were from Zimbabwe
We were from Ghana

Some were from Jamaica
We were from Russia
Some were from Aha-ha-ha
We were from Uhu-hu-hu (sing me a song)

Different colors
(One people, different colors)
(One people, different colors)
(Yeah) (Nice people, different colors)

(One people) (We are nice people)
(Different colors, one people) (yeah)
(Different colors, nice people)
(Nice people, ooh)
