All these hallway whispers
_____
Saying black or white, so
Is it the name or the skin
_____
I can't breathe anymore
_____
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
_____
I can't breathe anymore
_____
Under the weight of this nonsense
_____
I wanna live, laugh free
_____
I'm a woman of bright colors
_____
And that means all that
_____
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
_____
And that means all that
_____
I wanna live, laugh free
_____
I'm a woman of bright colors
_____
And that means all that
_____
I wanna live, laugh free
_____
I'm a woman of bright colors
