SKAT
VERSE 1:
If the colour of my skin
Reflects on my within -
Then I'm dark,
But I'm strong.
I'm made for where I'm from;
And I'm beautiful.
Yeah.
Reflection of the Sun.
God made me number one.
VERSE 2:
And if the pigment of my hide
Reflects on my inside -
Well then, I'm tanned,
But I'm not tainted:
The flavour without the sin,
Yeah.
I'm brown, but I've got soul.
And yes, you're white,
You're not a ghoul.
We're shiny,
Yes we are gold.
It's the sparkle in the eyes -
I'm told
SKAT
BRIDGE:
If the crevices of this place,
They determine what's on your face:
Then you're scarred -
But you're proud
You grew.
I grew.
We grew.
Harmony...
Yeah...
SKAT
VERSE 3:
If the colour of your skin
It reflects on your within
Then you're ...?
But you're strong.
You're made for where
We
Are
From
I like this. when i was reading this, I envisioned a duet, singing in harmony of course, and one acoustic guitar. maybe a hand drum and thats it. simplicity.
ReplyDeleteNice song. :-) I like that it talks both about how the outside reflects on the inside, and also how it doesn't reflect it too.
