Verse 1

I am a child

I have no voice

My world depends on you

I have no choice

Precious child

I am your mother

My world revolves around you

Like no other

 

Verse 2

I am your father

I’ll pave your way

I’d give my life for you

You bear my name

And Mother Earth

In all her glory

Adds another chapter to her

Ongoing story

 

Chorus

Red or yellow

Black or white

All are precious

In His sight

Beneath the surface

We are the same

With heart and soul and passion

Flowing through our veins

 

Verse 3

I am a child

I have no voice

My world depends on you

I have no choice

Precious child

I am your mother

My world revolves around you

Like no other

 

Verse 4

I am your father

I’ll pave your way

I’d give my life for you

You bear my name

And Mother Earth

In all her glory

Adds another chapter to her

Ongoing story

 

Chorus

Red or yellow

Black or white

All are precious

Precious in His sight

Beneath the surface

We are the same

With heart and soul and passion

Flowing through our veins

 

I am a child

I have no voice

My world depends on you

I have no choice

 

 

Story behind the song:

The world is in a state of apprehension and disarray yet we all sing from the same hymn sheet when it comes to wanting the very best for our children.

They deserve more than the damaged, volatile world we bequeath them.
