(D.Arkin/E.Robinson)
The ink is black, the page is white
Together we learn to read and write

A child is black, a child is white
The whole world looks upon the sight, a beautiful sight


And now a child can understand
That this is the law of all the land, all the land


The world is black, the world is white
It turns by day and then by night
A child is black, a child is white

Together they grow to see the light, to see the light

And now at last we plainly see

We'll have a dance of Liberty, Liberty!

The world is black, the world is white

It turns by day and then by night
A child is black, a child is white
The whole world looks upon the sight, a beautiful sight


The world is black, the world is white
It turns by day and then by night

A child is black, a child is white
Together they grow to see the light, to see the light


The world is black, the world is white
It turns by day and then by night
A child is black, a child is white

The whole world looks upon the sight, a beautiful sight

The world is black, the world is white

It turns by day and then by night
A child is black, a child is white
Together they grow to see the light, to see the light


C'mon, get it, get it
Ohh-ohhhh, yeah, yeah

Keep it up now, around the world
Little boys and little girls
Yeah, yeah-eah, oh-ohhh
