Lyrics
Under The Skin (c) 1997 Marvin Taylor, John Scriven, and Donna "Raven" Taylor
The world can seem a place where color and race
Are tearing everybody apart
You see it on the news, someone lights a fuse
That fires a hatred deep in the heart
It?s time we threw out this poisonous view
And stop denying what we know is true
It?s all one world we?re living in
And we?re all one color under the skin
You will live in hate if you never tolerate -
People who are not like you
You?re walking too near ignorance and fear
If you feel that you?re superior too
The world is shaped by the way we all act
We?ve got to learn to live with this simple fact
It?s all one world we?re living in
And we?re all one color under the skin
Bridge
We can all be a symphony
Working together in harmony
Not pulling apart
Gotta rise above the past
And show the world where to find its heart
So whatever your race or the color of your face
The time has come to stop and think
Will our children grow tall or stumble and fall
As we take the world right to the brink ?
We?ve got to let love and kindness flow
There?s only one thing that we need to know
It?s all one world we?re living in
And we?re all one color under the skin
It?s all one world we?re living in
And we?re all one color under the skin .... (repeat to fade)
