The Color Purple by The Color Purple Cast Lyrics

[Celie]
God forgot about me

[Shug Avery]
God taking his time getting around to you, I admit, but look at all he give us
Laughing, and singing, and sex. Sky over our heads, birds singing to us. I think it piss
God off if anybody even walk past the color purple in a field and not notice it. He
Said, "Look what i made for you."

[Celie]
God just another man, far as i'm concerned, he trifling and lowdown

[Shug Avery]
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

[Celie]
You better be getting back
Your husband probably wondering where you are

[Shug Avery]
Where do you want to be, Celie

[Celie]
With you

[Shug Avery]
All right then

[Celie]
God gon' take me to live with you

[Shug Avery]
Come on
