Verse 1
Whatever happenedTo Carlton BellMy best friendIn the seventh gradeWe played our snare drumsSide by sideIn the middle schoolMarching band Disney paradeWe raised our moneyTo ride the bus to OrlandoKnocking on doorsUp and down the streetSelling those barsOf the world's finest chocolateAnd splitting every third oneBetween him and me
Chorus 1
And his skin was blackAnd my skin was whiteAnd the sky was blueAnd the future was brightAnd our blood ran redIn both our veinsAnd we were looking at the worldIn living color
Verse 2
He moved awayThe first year of high schoolNo phones no internetSo we just lost touchBut I'd think about himEvery now and then in marching bandLaughing loud windows downIn the back row of the bus
Chorus 2
And his skin was darkAnd my skin was lightBut all we saw wasA friend in each other's eyesAnd our blood ran redIn both our heartsAnd we were looking at the worldIn living color
Verse 3
So I did a little searchAnd I found his pictureI recognized his smile immediatelyHe moved out westRaising kids working in a factoryGot sick and passed away in 2016Looking at his faceAs a grown man got me thinkingHow different life can beWhile so much stays the sameHis friends said he was a good manLoved his God and loved his familyDid not surprise meThat his good heart remained
Chorus 3
But his skin was blackAnd I wonder if my friendFeels judged and afraidIn ways that I've never beenAnd it weighs heavy on my heartBut then I think of where he is nowIn living color
Verse 4
Well I know these thingsAre all way more complicatedSo much is brokenBeyond fixing it can seemAnd if I'm honest I'm scaredTo even write and sing this songI don't wanna somehowSay the wrong thingBut I was thinking maybeIf I told our storyMaybe I could help someoneRemember and believeThere's a lot of goodnessAnd wonder left in this broken worldJust like there was backThen for Carlton and me
And his skin was blackAnd my skin was whiteAnd the sky was blueAnd the future was brightAnd our blood ran redIn both our veinsAnd we were looking at the world
