Verse 2

I've known begging men on city streets

Yellow is the color of fear

The jingle of the last dime in your pocket

Is a sound only your soul can hear

And the sun won't shine on the soup kitchen line

Yellow is the color of fear

But I was lucky and I found the brick road

Yellow is the color of freedom

Verse 3

A sunset on the water a sunrise in the desert

Red is the color of anger

Another day is gone and another one comes

To greet the weary wanderer

And I've worked my hands till they've bled

Red is the color of anger

The oppressed are told work will make you free

And red is the color of freedom

Verse 4

The street music is in my eyes

Blue is the color of pain

I moved from the ocean to the dry painted desert

Where the sand rarely meets the rain

I could find happiness if I looked close enough

Blue is the color of pain

But my eyes keep looking beyond the horizon

And blue is the color of freedom

Verse 5

The night sky is filled with clouds

Black is the color of death

This mountain of success is cold

I can clearly see my last breath

And the charcoal names are on the rocks

Black is the color of death

They've all left this peak and headed home

Black is the color of freedom
