[Nate]
I was lonely,
I needed someone, to see me threw,
I was at the, end of my rope,
I needed someone, to cut me lose
Then an angel, out of the blue,
Gave me the since that I, might make it through
And somehow I survived, with no rhyme or reason,
And now I know I'll make It,
Through the miracle of you

[Chorus]
I know the Color Of Love,
(And It lives in side of you)
I know the color of truth,
(Its in the image of you)
If it comes for the heart, then you know that its true,
It will color your soul, like a rainbow
(Like a rainbow)
And the color of love, is in you

[Shawn]
Like a bridge,
Over troubled, troubled water
You stood beside me, stood beside me
And your love, did not falter
And then the angel, angel in you,
Gave me the strength to know,
That I will get through,
And that's how I survived, ain't no other reason
And now I know I'll make it, through the miracle of you

[Chorus]

[Wanya]
So girl I want to thank you,
I can't thank you enough,
For showing me the meaning,
The meaning of true love,
(When I was lost and so in need you opened up your heart)
(When I needed you to comfort me you opened up you arms)
(I couldn't face another day you said don't be afraid)
You showed my heart the, showed me the way

[Chorus]





[Wayna]
Ohh, the color of you

This song reminds me of my homeless days, I will never forget such experience, the amount of walking, the weariness of my legs, the sleep that catches you, when you have to stop somewhere and just have to lay your head down, don't even care if you have a pillow or no not, you just want to rest no matter how hard the ground is, ay yah,there is a God In heaven that was watching over me and others who experienced it. Boy o boy I'm happy for this bed I'm laying on today!!! Praying strongly for the homeless across America!
