Many of our lives are controlled by others

They look upon themselves as our nations brothers

We listen to our mothers

We listen to our fathers

But when do we get to listen to ourselves


We know its wrong and well never forget

The past is in the tears that we've wept


(CHORUS)

But if two colours have to share this planet

What two colour would be better than

Black and white

Living together

Black and white

Black and white

Harmony forever

Black and white


A blind mans touch is his vision of a

Technicoloured image transmission

Why judge a person by the colour of his skin

Cos the loving of another

Should come from within


We know its wrong and well never forget

The past is in the tears that we've wept


(CHORUS)

Yellow brown black and white

Are the colour that I've seen

But I know one thing people

We shouldn't have to choose between


(CHORUS)
