My God Is Color Blind

Once upon a time, a little girl fell in love, oh oh

With a boy whose eyes were brown, her eyes were blue

Could've had a good love affair but his skin was brown too

And that is something little white girls never do

Because it makes her parents blue

Once upon a time, an orange bus drove through the morning dew

And in the bus were children of assorted hue

Being shipped from the ghetto to a fine white school

But you know the people wouldn't let them through

We don't want no niggers in our school

And my God, ooh, is color blind

Blue, black or white, you can be a friend of mine

And don't ever judge another man by his race or creed

We are all different colors

But if I cut you, you'll bleed

Once upon a time was Martin, Malcolm, John and Bobby

Ooh ooh

They used to travel the country giving hope to a few

And if we band together, they said, there was much we could do

But some people didn't appreciate what they knew

And off the brothers heads they blew

Ooh, my God, ooh, is color blind

Blue, black or white, in your heart just be kind

Yeah, and don't ever judge another man by his race or creed

We are all different colors

But if I cut you, you'll bleed

Once upon a time, the clock stopped ticking, ooh

And the bird in the clock, he said his last cuckoo

Because the Lord was coming to take His chosen few

I know that I am going, baby, how 'bout you?

You see what ignorance can do

My God, ooh, is color blind

Blue, black or white, you can be a friend of mine

And don't ever judge another man by his race or creed

We are all different colors

But if I cut you, you'll bleed
