Songs About / On: COLOR

Back through the years
I go wonderin’ once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I didn’t have a coat
And it was way down in the fall
Momma sewed the rags together
Sewin’ every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors
That I was so proud of
As she sewed, she told a story
From the bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors

Michael w. smith / wayne kirkpatrick

There’s not a world of difference
Out in the world tonight
Between this world of people
Red, yellow, black and white
But instead of riding a rainbow of love
We still are fighting with prejudice gloves
Of anger
With something to claim
But nothing to gain so
Chorus:
Why can’t we be color blind
You know we should
Be living together
And we’d find a reason and rhyme
I know we would
’cause we could see better
If we could be color blind read more »

From the heavens down to the deepest sea
It's in every part of your life
Do you feel it

Blu's not just a primary color

SO if you're vibing on this chill atmoshpere
Baby you have been blue

The world you painted was new
The colors were so alive
Took a lie and made it true
A final touch and then right into the painting you dive read more »

It hangs on a wall, museum hall, as it calls to passers by
A picture so bright, seen without light, and nobody wonders why
A tired old man stares at the wall, said the color’s blinding me
How can he see anything at all since he’s got no eyes to see read more »

Not too long ago
A misty blue and the lillac too
A never to grow old. read more »

Traditional

Black is the color of my true love’s hair
His face so soft and wondrous fair
The purest eyes
And the strongest hands
I love the ground on where he stands

Enemy fire
Enemy blanks
Enemy colored roses
Red colored tanks

It's too late baby
Baby, it's too late
Learn how to change
And maybe I could stay

Enemy fire
Enemy planes
Enemy roses and red colored chains

It's too late baby
Baby, it's too late
Learn how to change
And maybe I could stay
Um... no read more »

A fist is fast
And Jimmy's cast
Hang me

A white moon's hot
The other side's not
Hang me

It's not time for me for me to go
It's not time for me for me to go

My eyes have turned
Just the color of diamond
Just the color
The frayed color of ice read more »

being used, but never forgiven
being pushed out, then pulled
right back in
how can I run, when you pull my
strings
self deception wrapped
in the colors of death read more »
