Beautiful Thing Letra

He was born down in the ghetto He was raised on the fear of the city streets of black America Baptised a God fearing man But there's a southern religion that would crucify the black american The black American Listen up now Hey man don't be a fool All of the colours are beautiful Hey man don't be a fool A flag cries and the colours bleed for you Red, white and blue His money's good in any white man's store But his credit is zero on account of being born in black America He was not born on the 4th of July But he went down to the Gulf and died for black America For black America Listen up now Hey man don't be a fool All of the colours are beautiful Hey man don't be a fool A flag cries and the colours bleed for you Red, white and blue Hey people listen up to what I've got to say There are many kind of people trying to relate To the brothers and the sisters on the ghetto way We've got to cross that bridge and conquer hate Keep on crossing 'til there comes a time When the colour of a man is not emphasised Like the earth, the wind, the morning sky Until the Indian Nation is recognised If I was to be judged by the colour of my eyes I'd be a little green man not black and not white Don't judge a book by it's cover Don't judge a man by his colour It's a beautiful thing It's a beautiful thing He was born down in the ghetto He was raised on the fear of the city streets of black America He was not born on the 4th of July But he went down to the Gulf and died for all America For all America Listen up now Hey man don't be a fool All of the colours are beautiful Hey man don't be a fool A flag cries and the colours bleed for you Red, white and blue Don't judge a book by it's cover Don't judge a man by his colour It's a beautiful thing It's a beautiful thing Don't judge a book by it's cover Don't judge a man by his colour It's a beautiful thing It's a beautiful thing It's a beautiful thing It's a beautiful thing It's a beautiful thing It's a beautiful thing
