To Be Young, Gifted And Black

Nina Simone
앨범 : Forever Young, Gift...

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
