Skin

Written by Paul Reisler, Kathy Hussey and Ms. Eidson's 4th Grade, Elkin Elementary

I wanna know who you are
Don't wanna judge you by your car
Do you speak the truth?
Can you sing like Ray?
I wanna hear what you have to say

Skin, it can be pretty thin
Skin. it's just the suit you're in
Skin, skin

I wanna' know what's in your heart
Don't matter if your skin is light or dark
I don't care where you live or what you wear
If you've got cornrows or bleached blond hair

Skin, it can be pretty thin
Skin. it's just the suit you're in
Skin, skin

I have a dream like Dr. King
What he stood for made us think
That all God's children are just the same
With different faces and different names

Skin, it can be pretty thin
Skin. it's just the suit you're in
Skin, it can be pretty thin
Skin. you look so beautiful in
Skin, skin, skin

Skin, it can be thick or thin
Skin, be yourself, not some pseudonym
Skin, we go out the way we came in
You look so beautiful in your skin
Skin, it can be pretty thin
Skin, it's just the suit, the suit that you're in
Skin, it can be pretty thin but you look so beautiful in your skin
Skin, it's just the suit that you're in
Go on and give me some skin, yeah
