Young, gifted and black |
|
Oh what a lovely precious dream |
|
To be young, gifted and black |
|
Open your heart to what I mean |
|
In the whole world you know |
|
There was a billion boys and girls |
|
Who are young, gifted and black |
|
And that's a fact! |
|
You are young, gifted and black |
|
We must begin to tell our young |
|
There's a world waiting for you |
|
Your's is the quest that's just begun |
|
When you feel really low |
|
Yeah, there's a great truth that you should know |
|
When you're young, gifted and black |
|
Your soul's intact |
|
To be young, gifted and black |
|
Oh how I long to know the truth |
|
There are times when I look back |
|
And I am haunted by my youth |
|
Oh but my joy of today |
|
Is that we can all be proud to say |
|
To be young, gifted and black |
|
Is where it's at |
|
Is where it's at |
|
Is where it's at |
