Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
We're different colours
(One people)
Different colours
(One people)
Different colours
(One people)
Different colours
(One people)
We're different colours
(One people)
Different colours
[Verse 3]
Hey you, government
Never try to separate the people
Hey you, politician
Never try to separate the people
[Verse 4]
They were created in the image of God
And who are you to separate 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
[Verse 5]
We're different colours
(One people)
(Different colours)
One people
Different colours
(Nice people)
(Different colours)
One people
Different colours
(One people)
(Different colours)
[Verse 6]
Hey you, politician
Never separate the people here
Hey you, man, hey you, man
Never try to separate the people
[Verse 7]
Some were from America
(We were from South Africa)
Some were from Japan, yeah
(We were from China)
Some were from Australia
(We were from the UK)
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 ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Verse 8]
Sing this song, yeah
Different colours
(One people)
(Different colours)
(One people)
Everybody, sing this song now
(Different colours)
(Nice people)
(Different colours)
(One people)
(Different colours)
(One people)
Everybody, sing this song with me now
(Different colours)
(Nice people)
Nice people
