To the black child
You are beautiful and you are special
Do not let anyone discount you because of your colour
Your hair, your lips, your body shape or anything about you
The Great Creator made you with that colour for a reason
So let it shine and shine proudly
Do everything you can to highlight your difference
In a good way
To the red child
You are beautiful and you are special
Do not let anyone discount you because of your colour
Your way of life, your eyes, your cheeks, your cultural ways
The Great Creator made you that way for a reason
Embrace your ways, your history, your truth,
Do everything you can to highlight your difference
In a good way
To the yellow child
You are beautiful and you are special
Do not let anyone discount you because of your colour
Your eyes, your height, your way of life or anything about you
The Great Creator made you with that way for a reason
So let your diversity shine through proudly
Do everything you can to highlight your difference
In a good way
To the white child
You are beautiful and you are special
Do not let anyone discount you because of your colour
Your history, the errors of our colonial past, your culture,
The Great Creator made you with that colour for a reason
So let your philanthropy your adventurous spirit shine through
Do everything you can to highlight your difference
In a good way
To the peoples of the world
We are different superficially to add beauty to the world
Like the four fingers and thumb we all have a role to play
Our job is to learn the lesson each has to teach
Let’s not confuse superficialities with permanence
Look beyond and see the world ‘s infinite splendor
Know that each colour has equal value on the pallet of life
Let us strive for equality, beauty and diversity in a good way.
