Donny Hathaway Young Gifted And Black lyrics

Young, Gifted and Black

I
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!

II
To be young, gifted and black
We must begin to tell our young
Don`t you know there`s a whole world waiting for you?
Don`t you know the quest has just begun for you?
Haven`t you heard that the joy-
-the joy!
-the joy of the day is
that one day that we all be proud to say
That we were young, gifted and black
and it`s sho` `nuff where it`s at!
