This is why, this is why

Coming up slowly, oh, Sun over the hill
Daylight's still a long time coming but I know it will
Oh come on lovers, come on haters, tonight we raise the fire
'Cause when the people get to dancing, they forget about taking sides

This is why, this is why
Oh this is why
Oh this why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right, sing

We're different colors
We carry each other
We're just different colors
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

We keep cranking the music up driving through our towns
But they don't wanna hear, they want us to turn it down
So come on lovers, come on haters, tonight we raise the fire
'Cause when the people get to dancing, they forget about taking sides, sing

We're different colors
We carry each other
We're just different colors
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

This is why, this is why
Oh this is why
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right, sing

We're different colors, yeah
We carry each other, yeah
We're just different colors
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

So come on lovers, come on haters, yeah
Come on lovers, come on haters, yeah
We're just different colors
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

Yeah
This is why, this is why
Come on lovers, come on haters
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right
Different colors
