Lyrics

Verse 1
Can we ever change the world
Can we ever make it right
Can we ever stop the day
From turning into night

Do you even know my name
There’s so much more to me inside
Another face among the crowd
In a world where we can’t hide


Chorus
Do we know what we’re looking for
We can have it all – but we still want more
If we could see the world through a child’s eyes
Maybe then we’d realize

Verse 2

In the world in which we live
One simple fact remains
When we’re cut do we not bleed
Cause deep inside we’re all the same

So as we face another day
One more time around the wheel
May we live the words we preach
And may the wounds begin to heal


Chorus

Do we know what we’re looking for
We can have it all – but we still want more
If we could see the world through a child’s eyes
Maybe then we’d realize

Everybody reaches for a dream
But in the end it’s not what it seems
It’s all written in His plan
So we do the best we can
Will we ever understand

The Colours of a Man

Bridge
(spoken)
The journey of a lifetime begins with just one step
So too, does one step set us on a new path in life, the path to a world where respect for each other’s beliefs and cultures is the norm.
We hope you will be moved to take that first step, and may your life be, the rainbow hues that are, The Colours of a Man
