Michael W. Smith's 'Color Blind' is a plea for racial unity and love, challenging listeners to look beyond skin color. The song critiques prejudice and division, urging a world where people are judged by their hearts, not their appearance. It envisions a society where barriers are erased and the only race is the human race. While not explicitly theological, the call for love and unity reflects Christian values of brotherhood and equality.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
There's not a world of difference
Out in the world tonight
Between this world of people
Red, Yellow, Black, and White
But instead of riding a rainbow of love
We still are fighting with prejudice gloves
Of anger
With something to claim
But nothing to gain so
Why can't we be color blind
You know we should
Be living together
And we'd find a reason and rhyme
I know we would
'Cause we could see better
If we could be color blind
Somebody's jsut assuming
He's up to nothing good
'Cause he's not like the others
There goes the neighbourhood
What kind of world are we living in
We judge a man by the tone of his skin
It's crazy
'Cause he has a heart
Like you have a heart and
It'd be so fine
To be color blind
To open our eyes
And see color blind
I know this world would be a better place
The only race would be the human race
All of those barriers would be erased
Why can't we be color blind
