Title:To Be Young,Gifted And Black
(1969) Nina Simone,Weldon Irvine jr
To be 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 are billion 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
This is a quest that's just begun
When you feel really low
Yeah,there's a great truth you should know
When you're young,gifted and black
Your soul's intact
Young,gifted and black
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
