To Be Young Gifted and Black

歌詞

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 world you know There's a million boys and girls Who are young, gifted and black And that's a fact Young, gifted and black We must begin to tell our young There's a world waiting for you Yours is the quest that's just begun When you're feeling real low There's a great truth you should know To be young, gifted and black Your soul's intact Oh, young, gifted and black Oh, how I long to know the truth There were times when I look back When I am haunted by my youth Oh, but my joys of today Is that we can all be proud to say To be young, gifted and black Is where it's at Young, gifted, and black We must begin to tell our young There's a world waiting for you Yours is the quest that's just begun When you're feeling real low There's a great truth you should know To be young, gifted and black Your soul's intact Oh, young, gifted, and black Oh, how I long to know the truth There were times when I look back When I am haunted by my youth Oh, but my joys 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
