Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, sir

Bm         G                  Em            G A
I couldn't help but note your shade of melanin

Bm       G           Em
I tip my hat to the colourful arrangement

Bm              G             Em

We've got a history so full of mistakes

And we are coloured people who depend on a Holy Grace

A piece of canvas is only the beginning for

Bm          G              Em              G A
It takes on character with every loving stroke

Bm            G             Em
This thing of beauty is the passion of an Artist's heart

By God's design, we are a skin kaleidoscope

Ignorance has wronged some races

Well, just a day in the shoes of a colour blind man

               A               G
