Breaking those barriers all over the world
Was not an easy thing
Yesterday your mouth was shut, yeah
Couldn't make a sound, eh boy
But it's such a good feeling today
When I can hear them from
Across the ocean singing this song
That the whole world should be singing
All the time

We're different colours (one people)
Different colours (one people)
Different colours (one people)
Different colours (one people)
We're different colours (one people)
Different colours

Hey you government
Never try to separate the people
Hey you politician
Never try to separate the people

Hey! They were created in the image of God
Then who are you to separate them?
Bible says, He made man in His image
But it didn't say black or white
Look at me you see black
I look at you I see white
Now is the time to kick that away
And join me in my song

We're different colours
(One people, different colours)
One people, different colours
(Nice people, different colours)
One people, different colours
(One people, different colours)

Hey you politician
Never separate the people here
Hey you man, hey you man
Never try to separate the people

Some were from America (we were from South Africa)
Some were from Japan (we were from China)
Some were from Australia (we were from the U.K.)
Some were from Zimbabwe (we were from Ghana)
Some were from Jamaica (we were from Russia)
Some were from, Aha-ha-ha (we were from Uhu-hu-hu)

We're different colours
(One people, different colours)
(One people, different colours)
(One people, different colours)
(One people, different colours)
(One people, different colours)
(Nice people)
