๐ Lyrics
God forgot about me!
God takin' his time getting around to you,
I admit, but look at all he give us
Laughin', and singin', and sex.
Sky over our heads, birds singin' to us.
I think it piss God off
If anybody even walk past the color purple in a field
And not notice it.
He say, "look what i made for you."
God just another man, far as i'm concerned,
He triflin' and lowdown . .
No, celie.
God not some gloomy old man like the pictures you've seen of him
God not a man at all
God is inside you and everyone else
That was or ever will be
We come into this world with god
But only them who look inside find it
God is the flowers and everything else
That was or ever will be
And when you feel the truth so real
And when you love the way you feel, you've found it
Just as sure as moonlight bless the night
Like a blade of corn
Like a honeybee
Like a waterfall
All a part of me
Like the color purple
Where do it come from?
Open up your eyes
Look what god has done
You better be gettin' back.
Your husband probably wonderin' where you are
Where do you want to be, celie?
With you
All right then
God gon' take me to live with you?
Come on
God takin' his time getting around to you,
I admit, but look at all he give us
Laughin', and singin', and sex.
Sky over our heads, birds singin' to us.
I think it piss God off
If anybody even walk past the color purple in a field
And not notice it.
He say, "look what i made for you."
God just another man, far as i'm concerned,
He triflin' and lowdown . .
No, celie.
God not some gloomy old man like the pictures you've seen of him
God not a man at all
God is inside you and everyone else
That was or ever will be
We come into this world with god
But only them who look inside find it
God is the flowers and everything else
That was or ever will be
And when you feel the truth so real
And when you love the way you feel, you've found it
Just as sure as moonlight bless the night
Like a blade of corn
Like a honeybee
Like a waterfall
All a part of me
Like the color purple
Where do it come from?
Open up your eyes
Look what god has done
You better be gettin' back.
Your husband probably wonderin' where you are
Where do you want to be, celie?
With you
All right then
God gon' take me to live with you?
Come on
