about

This is a Cumbia. Lyrics in Spanish and English.

lyrics

Skin has tone, hue, color
mocha, Pink, reddish, or umber
Light reflects and we see
The many shades of you and me

Ancestors exist in memory
Neighbors are contemporary
Everyone who’s here belongs
It would serve us to get along

We are all people of color
None of us colorless
Have yet to see anyone who
Is really black or white
Have you?

We are a funny animal
Part predator, part herbivore
Unlike our furry friends we can choose
What we want to keep or lose

Choose to step back from the precipice
Choose mindfulness, not prejudice
Choose not to discriminate
Choose instead to appreciate

We are all people of color
We all have a hue
Let’s appreciate one another
Our colors, me and you
We are all people of color
