It's a colorful world it's a beautiful world that we live [repeat]   It's a colorful world       She wears nose rings with weird things floating through her hair    She is slightly embarrassed by everyone who stares    And when she walks away you might say she's a little wild    But she could rule the world when she opens up her mouth and smiles       It's a colorful world that we live in, a colorful world that we live in    It's a colorful world it's a beautiful world that we live in(repeat)       Now he's been cheated, mistreated by the color of his skin    He is rarely contrary over what should not have been    And he holds up his head instead and he wears a smile    What motivates him most is what he finds deep down inside       Celebrate all our differences    Instead of building these lasting fences    What's in your heart matters most of all, most of all       We have millions of children with possibilities    From the streets of Nairobi to the hills of Tennessee    Every hand you touch has a friend with a different name    What makes this world a better place is that we're not the same
