[Johnny Clegg, Angélique Kidjo - Colour of My Skin lyrics]

I'm caught inside the colour of my skin
People see me from the outside in
It doesn't matter what I've done or
Where I've been
Like a promise unfulfilled I'm waiting
I'm waiting


And I'm singin' out wo yo it'll be right
Oh oh oh oh it'll be right

Wo yo it'll be right
Oh oh oh oh



One day I will be gathered to my people
Under the warmth of the Sun shining
For the world has all my
Brothers and my sisters
And love will be the prize we win


And love will be the prize we win


If the eyes are the soul's open window
And if the mouth can speak
Words and make it fly
I'd say we all are the colours of your water
Like drops of rain fallin' from a common sky
A common sky

And I'm singin' out wo yo it'll be right
Oh oh oh oh it'll be right

Wo yo it'll be right
Oh oh oh oh


One day I will be gathered to my people
Under the warmth of the Sun shining
For the world has all my
Brothers and my sisters
And love will be the prize we win
And love will be the prize we win

One day, oh (It'll be right)
One day, oh oh oh (It'll be right)
One day, oh (It'll be right)
Love will be the prize we win

One day, oh (It'll be right)
One day, oh oh oh (It'll be right)
One day, oh (It'll be right)
Love will be the prize we win
One day I will be gathered to my people
Under the warmth of the Sun shining
For the world has all my
Brothers and my sisters
And love will be the prize we win
And love will be the prize we win

One day, oh

One day, oh oh oh

One day, oh love will be the prize we win

One day, oh

One day, oh oh oh

One day, oh love will be the prize we win
