Different Colors
Walk the Moon Lyrics

Coming up slowly, oh, sun over the hill
The awakening of something, as gradual as the rising of the sun

Daylight still a long time coming
Despite the promise of dawn, it is still a long wait

But I know it will
Despite the wait, there is steadfast belief in the promise of light

Been under their spell, oh, but we're coming awake
Having been previously subdued, there is now an awakening and a breaking free of that control

So we'll be rude, we'll be loud
There will be no holding back in expressing oneself

As long as it takes
There will be no stopping until the desired outcome is achieved

This is why, this is why, We crank the dial to the right
The reason for turning up the music full blast

Ooh this is why we're biting the bullet
The necessity of making sacrifices and taking risks for a greater cause

We know the kids are right
Acknowledgment that the younger generation possesses insight and ideas that are worth pursuing

Different colors
The recognition of diversity among people

We carry each other
Despite our differences, we take care of and support each other

We're just different colors
Variety in people and cultures is not a weakness but a strength

We keep cracking the music up
Despite opposition, the volume and energy continue to rise

Driving through our towns
Wandering through our communities

But they don't wanna hear
Others may not be open to our message

They want us to turn it down
Others may try to silence our enthusiasm

Tonight we raise the fire
Despite opposition, we will ignite and inspire

'Cause when the people get to dancing
When we let go and come together, there is unity and joy

They forget about taking sides
Differences and division fade away in the midst of celebration

(For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction)
Newton's third law of motion suggests that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, a reminder that our actions have repercussions

We're coming awake, Out of your spell
Breaking free from the control of others

This is why we're biting the bullet
Taking charge and making difficult choices for the greater good

We turn it up all night
The continued increase in energy and enthusiasm
