What would you see if you saw me walking down your street,
The shade of my skin or the heart thats beating deeply within?
[oh, were*] only as different
As we want the difference to be. (mmm-mmm)
Colors may change from face to face,
But were all human underneath.
Oh, I want the world to see (mmm-hmm)
The colors that live in me,
Grace and peace, truth and love,
Oh these are the colors of the heart.
I want the world to see
([yo quiero*] que vean mi color) ["[i want you] to see my passion (or color)"]
The colors that live in me,
([como el*] color del amor) ["[like the] color of love"]
Grace and peace, truth and love,
Oh these are the colors of the heart.
Of the heart...
Under the skin is the place where understanding begins.
Its here that Ive found everybody stands on common ground.
Fallen people in need of the grace
That can heal the wounds of history,
And open up our jaded eyes (open up our jaded eyes)
To all thats good in you and me.
Oh, I want the world to see
The colors that live in me,
Grace and peace, truth and love,
Oh these are the colors of the heart.
Yo quiero que vean mi color ["i want you to see my passion (or color)"]
I want the world to see
Como el color del amor ["like the color of love"]
Colors that live in me:
Grace and peace, truth and love,
Oh these are the colors of the heart.
We[ve*] let the color of our skin divide us
And its been going on too long;
The time has come to let the colors inside us
Come shining through and make us strong. (make us strong)
I want the world to see
The colors that live in me
Grace and peace, truth and love,
Oh these are the colors of the heart.
Yo quiero que vean mi color ["i want you to see my passion (or color)"]
I want the world to see
Como el color del amor ["like the color of love"]
Colors that live in me
Es su gracia, justicia, verdad, ["its your grace, justice, truth"]
Los colores del corazon. ["the colors of the heart."]
Colors of the heart,
Colors of the heart.
Como gloria, (mmm) como gracia, justicia, paz y verdad (I want the world to see, ohh) in mi corazon.
["like glory, like grace, peace, and truth in my heart."]
(ooh) in mi corazon... (ohh) gracia, justicia... ["in my heart...grace, justice..."]
