All these hallway whispers
Saying black or white, so
Is it the name or the skin
Under the weight of this nonsense
Whatever they say, whatever they say
All these heavy 'me-us'
That some people knock down
Their only crime so far?
Being born of their mothers
Under the weight of this nonsense
I wanna live, laugh free
I'm a woman of bright colors
I wanna live, laugh free
I'm a woman of bright colors
When the sky's so beautiful
That I end up, I admit
Fly toward other tomorrows
You, the disappointing ones
That it brings you back to us
I wanna live, laugh free
I'm a woman of bright colors
I wanna live, laugh free
I'm a woman of bright colors
I leave those bourgeois tales to time
From jumping into the fray
Everybody does their best
I wanna live, laugh free
I'm a woman of bright colors
I wanna live, laugh free
I'm a woman of bright colors
I wanna live, laugh free
I'm a woman of bright colors
