Tobymac Diverse City Lyrics

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

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 the 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 pullin' 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 (echo: fill it x8)
We'll take you high, we'll take you higher

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

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 lose, just come on and ride
We're a body with parts, like you and me
Together we make diversity
We'll take you higher, we'll take you higher

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

Said we're Diverse City, we're colorful good
It's just a state of mind, we gonna shine the way that we should, baby
So, if you wanna praise you can come on down
Cause this freak show's leaving the ground
Up, up, and away

Diverse City
Diverse
(x2)

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

'Cause we're Diverse City, we're colorful good
It's like a freak show, freak show, baby
So, if you wanna praise you can come on down
Cause this freak show's leaving the ground

Said we're Diverse City, we're colorful good
Diverse City's rollin' right up into your neighborhood
(Ladies)If you wanna praise you can come on down
Cause this freak show's leaving the ground

We'll take ya, we'll take ya
Diverse City (Diverse)
Oh, it's like a freak show (City)
Like a city on a hill
Diverse City (Diverse)
Oh, just like a freak show (City)
Like a city, on a city on a hill
Diverse City

We will never be that shining city on a hill
Until we truly become of Diverse City (Diverse City)

Spreadin' the good news, baby
Gospelzillio, and that's for realio
