Color Don’t Matter

DAGGOO

THE COLOR DON’T MATTER WHEN YOUR LIFE’S ON THE LINE.

WHEN MEN RELY ON MEN THERE IS NO DESIGN.

WHOA HOA.

HIM MAY BE YOUR NEXT OF KIN.

BROTHERS ON A SHIP AIN’T NO SIN.

OUR EYES DO THE LOOKIN’ BUT WHAT COLOR ARE THEY?

A RAINBOW OF DELIGHTS SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY.

WHOA HOA.

INDIGO TO EBONY YO.

BROWN EYES THE SKIN OF OUR SOUL.

DAGGOO, QUEEQUEG, TASHTEGO

WE ALL RELY ON OTHERS, THAT’S THE WAY WE SURVIVE.

BLACK, WHITE, BROWN, THE COLORS, OUR ONLY DISGUISE.

WHOA HOA.

SHIPMATES WHO CANNOT STIGMATIZE.

LOOK AT THOSE COLORFUL EYES.

DAGGOO

IF A MAN COMES KNOCKIN’ BOUT THE SHADE THAT I AM,

I’LL ROCK ‘EM ROUND THE OCEAN TO THE SHORES OF SIAM,

WHOA HOA.

BLACK NIGHT GIVES ME A TAN, 

QUARRIED OUT OF BLACK THAT I AM.

CHORUS

BLACK NIGHT GLEAMS AMONG ALL THE STARS.

DARK LIGHT LOVES THE MOON AND HER MARS.

MOBY

I AM THE GREAT, GREAT WHITE WHALE FROM DOWN UNDER.

DAGGOO

HOSTAGE AM I TO FEELINGS.

ONE’S CONCEALING ALL I AM.

CHORUS

BLACK NIGHT GLEAMS AMONG ALL THE STARS.

GOOD NIGHT SAYS THE MOON TO HER MARS.

MOBY

I AM THE GREAT, GREAT WHITE WHALE FROM DOWN UNDER.

DAGGOO

HOSTAGE AM I NO ONE CAN UNTIE.

CHORUS

BLACK NIGHT GIVES THE MOON TO HER MARS.

DAGGOO

WHO’S AFRAID OF BLACK IS AFRAID OF ME,

WHEN LIGHTNING STRIKES THE MASTS 

THEY LOOK LIKE CANDLES AT SEA,

WHOA HOA,

FIRES BURNING UP IN THE SKY,

FIRES RAGE IN ME ‘TIL I DIE.

ALL

WE ALL RELY ON OTHERS, 

THAT’S THE WAY WE SURVIVE.

BLACK, WHITE, BROWN, THE COLORS, OUR ONLY DISGUISE.

WHOA HOA.

SHIPMATES WHO CANNOT STIGMATIZE.

LOOK AT THOSE COLORFUL EYES.

SOPRANOS AND ALTOS

BLACK NIGHT GLEAMS AMONG ALL THE STARS.

TENORS AND BASSES

BLACK NIGHT LOVES THE MOON AND HER MARS.

MOBY

I AM THE GREAT, GREAT WHITE WHALE FROM ABOVE!

CHOIR

ALL OF US ARE EQUAL.

COLOR DON’T MATTER.

ALL OF US ARE EQUAL, 

COLOR DON’T MATTER,

COLOR DON’T MATTER

ALL

ALL OF US ARE EQUAL, COLOR DON’T MATTER.

UNDER GOD’S GRACEFUL EYES.
