Larry Howard - Beneath The Color Of Skin lyrics

I've seen the sun rise on many different lands foreign skin pressed against my hand I have waded waters across the Rio Grande dove beneath the cold North Sea If I live to be wrinkled and old see this world over again I'll never understand why hatred grows beneath the color of skin I have drank from fontains marked colored and white I've seen the devil's cross of fire I wondered why the tension when I was just a child I bow my head and wonder even now I hope this writer's pen never grows cold I'll ask these words over again Why man against man where hatred grows beneath the color of skin BRIDGE It irritates to start but hate left to grow soon infects the heart beneath the color of skin
