To Be Young, Gifted And Black - Bob & Marcia

Young gifted and black

Oh what a lovely precious dream

To be young gifted and black

Open up your heart to what i mean

In the whole world you know

There was a 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

To be young gifted and black

Your soul's intact

Young gifted and black

Oh 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
