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
