Original music & lyrics by Clare Steffen. When I wrote this I didn't know there was a movie by this song title last year (2025). I learned there is also a women's empowerment and body positivity group that embraces this message. I was thinking about diversity and inclusion when I wrote this song. There is history behind this that dates back to the 1960s that promotes body positivity, which is part of the overall empowerment. Civil rights, etc.

Lyrics

V1 You wondered why my skin is so dark I wondered why yours is so light Differences keep tearing us apart Brothers and sisters caught in a fight Pre-Chorus These walls seem too tall to climb Injustice makes us blind Chorus Love the skin you're in He wipes away every tear you've cried Beauty comes in every color We were never meant to divide Your grace opens every door Let go of any false pride Love the skin you're in Love the skin you're in Anthem-like BGV We don't have to hide in shame We are saved in Your name V2 Every tone paints a work of art God made all nations from one blood Speak to each other with a grateful heart Hope is rising from above Bridge You formed every heart, every shade No mistake in the way we’re made Chorus Love the skin you're in He wipes away every tear you've cried Beauty comes in every color We were never meant to divide Your grace opens every door Let go of any false pride Love the skin you're in Love the skin you're in
