Udo Lindenberg What Colour Has the Soul song lyrics

Usa - south africa

There's no need to go so far

Look around just where you are

See the people standing there, going back

They've got the past in their heads

They ignore the tragedy all around

'cause the see only what they see

They see the color of your skin, my friend

And that's enough for them to lift up their hand

They still don't know that only fairness leads to peace

What can we do to set them free from prejudice

What is the color of your soul

What is the color of your heart

What harmony fits your mentality

The man who's assessin' you with your complexion in his view

And not your characteris ... let me see a color too

Is like the dirty past, so cruel, so dark is he

Whatever can he be?

What color has the soul

What color has the conscience

What color has humanity

See no colors just see the worth of a man's personality

Mozambique - rhodesia

I can count a hundred lands

First look around, see where you are

See some forward-looking people, straight ahead

They've got good will in their hearts

They recognize the urgency of the change

See, what humanity requires from you and me

They say the world is a rainbow, my friend

Let's make a chain around the world hand in hand

They realize that life is full of possibilities

To change the things and make the world a place of love and peace

What color has the soul

What color has the conscience

What color has humanity

See no colors - see the worth of a man's personality
