It's picture day at church today All the families are clean and bright-eyed Our white mother and her two brown babies Are perfect too We are Linda's pride She rakes a pick through our nappy afros She got a different look in mind We'll show our true colors And a love so bright It could make you blind She gave up everything She sacrificed everything It's picture day today And the pride on her face says more Than any words could say Linda dressed us all in Dashikis She said be proud have no shame Linda dressed us all in Dashikis The colors of pride in a frame Hold your head high she said Look folks in the eye she said Speak the King's English And always remember I love you and you're beautiful She said She gave up everything She sacrificed everything It's picture day today And the pride on her face says more Than any words could say Linda dressed us all in Dashikis She said be proud have no shame Linda dressed us all in Dashikis The colors of pride in a frame She must have felt so all alone and scared She must have reached out just to find no one there What would you do With so much to prove? Linda dressed us all in Dashikis She said be proud have no shame Linda dressed us all in Dashikis The colors of pride in a frame The colors of pride in a frame
