"The Color Purple" lyrics
Fantasia, Danielle Brooks, Taraji P. Henson, Ciara, Corey Hawkins, Colman Domingo & The Color Purple Ensemble Lyrics
(from "The Color Purple" soundtrack)
Dear God, dear stars
Dear trees, dear sky
Dear peoples, dear everything
Dear God
God is inside me and everyone else
That was, forever will be
I came into this world with God
And when I finally looked inside
I found it
Just as close as my breath is to me
Risin' (Risin', risin') like the sun
Is the hold that sets us free
Your heartbeat make my heart beat
When we share love like a blade of corn
Like a honey bee
Like a waterfall
All a part of me
Like the color purple
Where do it come from?
Now my eyes are open
Look what God has done
It take a grain of love (Grain of love)
To make a mighty tree (To make a mighty, mighty tree)
You take the smallest love (Smallest love)
And make a harmony (Harmony)
Like a drop of water (Like a drop of water)
You keep the river high (You keep makin' the river high)
There are miracles (There are miracles)
For you and I (For you and I)
Like a blade of corn (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Like a honey bee (Ooh)
Like a waterfall (Like, ooh)
All a part of me
Like the color purple
Where do it come from? (Tell, where does it come from?)
Now my eyes are open (Now my eyes are open)
Look what God has done
I don't think us feel old at all
I think this is the youngest us every felt
Amen ('Men)
Dear trees, dear sky
Dear peoples, dear everything
Dear God
God is inside me and everyone else
That was, forever will be
I came into this world with God
And when I finally looked inside
I found it
Just as close as my breath is to me
Risin' (Risin', risin') like the sun
Is the hold that sets us free
Your heartbeat make my heart beat
When we share love like a blade of corn
Like a honey bee
Like a waterfall
All a part of me
Like the color purple
Where do it come from?
Now my eyes are open
Look what God has done
It take a grain of love (Grain of love)
To make a mighty tree (To make a mighty, mighty tree)
You take the smallest love (Smallest love)
And make a harmony (Harmony)
Like a drop of water (Like a drop of water)
You keep the river high (You keep makin' the river high)
There are miracles (There are miracles)
For you and I (For you and I)
Like a blade of corn (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Like a honey bee (Ooh)
Like a waterfall (Like, ooh)
All a part of me
Like the color purple
Where do it come from? (Tell, where does it come from?)
Now my eyes are open (Now my eyes are open)
Look what God has done
I don't think us feel old at all
I think this is the youngest us every felt
Amen ('Men)
