Album: Night of Joy 2006

Hook 1
They call us Diverse City, we're colorful good.
It's like a freak show in your neighborhood.
So, if you want to praise, you can come on down,
cause this freak show's leaving the ground.

v1
Up, up and away, baby we don't play,
maybe you thought you was done for the day.
He said, she said, I said this, that you can't get away from your moment of bliss.

Stirring, we'll lure you in and we'll make room for the shade of skin
Short ones, tall ones, skinny ones, bigger,
love is the gun and we pulling that trigger.
So you send me and I'll send you hope in the form of a new tattoo.
Mine is the shiny city on a hill and yours, of course, is the colors that fill it.

Pre-Chorus
We'll take you high, we'll take you higher!

Hook 1

v2
Now come to the city where you can praise,
if you're black, if you're white, if you're yellow or grey.
In the morning, in the night, anytime of day, what's that place? Diverse City!
With curls in your hair and braids on the side,
straight shake 'em loose, just come on and ride.
We're a body with parts, like you and me, together we make diversity!

Repeat PRE-CHORUS

Hook 2
Welcome to Diverse City, we're colorful good,
it's like a freak show in your neighborhood.
So, if you want to praise, you can come on down.
Cause this freak show's leaving the ground.

Said we're Diverse City, we're colorful goods.
It's just a state of mind, we gonna shine the way that we should, baby.
So, if you want to praise you can come on down,
cause this freak show's leaving the ground.

Bridge
You bring the heart, I'll bring the soul
I'll bring the flag, you bring the pole
We'll fly it high so the whole world knows, the dream of a King bout to unfold.

We 'bout to do this thing for real,
Diverse City got mass appeal.
So put your hand in the hand of mine
And we'll spread this love like dandelions.

Hook until end
