Driving up to Green Acre Baha'i School in Eliot, Maine one day in 1960’s, I saw a car with a bumper sticker that said "Good neighbors come in all colors." By the time I got to Green Acre, I was singing this song.

lyrics

Chorus:
Good neighbors come in all colors,
Black, red, yellow and tan.
Our outsides may look different,
But we’re the family of woman and man.

1. When my doorbell starts to ring, I can’t see the ringer’s skin.
Even if he had bright blue skin, I’d welcome him right in.

2. When my neighbor starts to cry, it hurts her and that hurts I.
Even if she had orange eyes, it hurts her when she cries.

3. When my neighbors want to share joy and happiness everywhere,
Even if they had purple hair, I wouldn’t even care.
