Young,
Gifted and
Black
Oh what a lovely precious dream
To be young, gifted and black
Open your heart to what I mean
And the whole world should know
There are little boys and girls
Young, gifted, and black,
and lots of facts
Young , gifted, and black
We must begin to tell our young
There's a world waiting for you,
yours is a quest that's just begun
When you're feeling real low, baby now,
there's a fate you, you should know
Young, gifted and black,
your soul's intact
Young, young, gifted and blind
Oh, how I long to know the truth
There are times when I look back
And I am haunted by my youth
But my choice of today is that
we can all be proud to say
Young, gifted and black is where it's at
