Being white does not decide my heart,

Being brown does not make up my mind,

Being black does not determine who I am,

‘cause the colors don’t define me.

You don’t judge me because I am white,

You don’t disparage me because I am brown,

You don’t degrade me because I am black,

‘cause the colors don’t define me.

I am white because He created me,

I am brown because that best suits me,

I am black and God loves me,

Only God knows best for creating me.
