Different Colours/one People Lyrics - Singles - Lucky Dube

Breaking those barriers 

All over the world 

Was not an easy thing 

Yesterday your mouth was shut yeah 

Couldn' t make a sound eh boy 

But it' s such a good feeling today 

When I can hear them from 

Across the ocean singing this song 

That the whole world should be singing 

All the time 

Chorus: (x3) 

We' re... 

Different colours / one people 

Different colours / one people 

Hey you government 

Never try to seperate the people 

Hey you politician 

Never try to seperate the people 

They were created in the image of God 

And who are you to seperate them 

Bible says, he made man in his image 

But it didn' t say black or white 

Look at me you see BLACK 

I look at you I see WHITE 

Now is the time to kick that away 

And join me in my song 

Chorus: (x3) 

Hey you politician 

Never seperate the people here 

Hey you man hey you man 

Never try to seperate the people 

Some were from America 

We were from South Africa 

Some were from Japan 

We were from China 

Some were from Australia 

We were from the U.K. 

Some were from Zimbabwe 

We were from Ghana 

Some were from Jamaica 

We were from Russia 

Some were from Aha-ha-ha 

We were from Uhu-hu-hu 

Chorus till fade
