Story Behind The Song
It is difficult to belive that skin color still presents issues in society. We have no control over this basic necessity. We all need it, we all have it, and we should be able to enjoy the beauty of its difference.
Song Description
The color of our skin is as unpredictable as the color of our eyes and hair when we are born, no one should be discriminated based on it.

Lyrics
Skin
Everybody covered in it
Skin
Showin? lots of it
Better to show it young
Then when you?re old
If you show it when you shouldn?t
Baby you are bold
Skin
Skin
Different shades of white
Different shades of brown
Colors in between
Colors all around
No one gets to choose
Which color they wear
By, hey, it?s exterior
So who cares
Skin
Everybody owns it
And can do what they choose
Some people pierce it
And some get tattoos
Skin
A beautiful spectrum
Of diversity
If we were all the same color
How boring that would be
Skin
Skin
Don?t judge what?s within
Based on skin
Don?t judge what?s within
Based on the color of anybody skin
We don?t get to choose the shade it comes in
But we need it to hold everything in
Skin
