Shadowman	Looking for songs against racism (50)	RE: Looking for songs against racism	01 Dec 06
A classic from the touring show, "Up With People" is the poignant, "What Color is God's Skin?" Words and Music by Thomas Wilkes and David Stevenson. "Goodnight I said to my little son, so tired out when the day was done, then he said as I tucked him in, tell me Daddy, [or' Mommy,'], What color's God's Skin? Chorus: What color is God's skin? What color is God's skin? I said it's black, brown, it's yellow, it is red, it is white, Every man's [or 'Everyone's'] the same in the good Lord's sight..." The original version has two more verses. It is often performed with just one or two verses, though. Singing that song helped to teach me to guard my own heart against racism. Best regards from the Shadowman.
