I was thinking about thinking about thinking about thinking I was thinking.
Contemplating situations and the visions blew my mind.
In the gutter I was crawling as the shells justkept on falling all around me.
(Chorus):
What colour is God? Why cant you tell me, cant you tell me?
What colour is God? Why cant you tell me, cant you tell me?
What colour is God? Why cant you tell me, cant you tell me?
As the library was burning and the pages kept on turning back in history.
As the doorways they were full of refugees and lonely people staring at me,
they were asking of me.
What colour is God?
What colour is God?
What colour is God?
No matter what I say or do, it never looks like making any difference.
Dont keep on looking down at me as if I dont exist as if Im not here.
Dont focus all your anger and resentment that you have,
dont blame it on me, dont blame it on me.
(Chorus):
Black brother in an open sports car pulled over by suspicious officer,
uniform man got a nervous partner,
weapon was pulled from a shoulder holster.
White jogger see the roadside gangsta,
heart beat just a little bit faster,
rasta man speaking in the island patios,
gonna give you the righteous answer.
Why cant you tell me, cant you tell me. What colour is God?
(Chorus):
No matter what I say or do it never looks like making any difference
Dont focus all your anger and resentment that you have
Dont blame it on me, dont blame it on me
(Chorus):
Please, please, please tell me.
Please, please, please tell me.
What colour is God
