Lyrics

To be young, gifted
and black
oh what a lovely precious dream.

To be young, gifted
and black

open up your heart
to what I mean

Cause you know
in this whole wide world

There's a million,
A MILLION
boys and girls

Who are young,
gifted and black

and that's a fact!

To be young, gifted
and black

We must
begin to tell our young

Don't you know
that there's a whole world
a whole world waiting
for you

Haven't you heard
that the quest has just begun
for you

Didn't you know
that the joy
the joy!
the joy of the day is

will be the day that we all
that we all will be proud to say

That we were young,
gifted
gifted and black
and it's sho' 'nuff where it's at!
