NINA SIMONE lyrics : "to be young, gifted & black"


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 was a billion boys and girls


Who are young, gifted and black

And that's a fact!





You are young, gifted and black

We must begin to tell our young


There's a world waiting for you


Your's is the quest that's just begun




When you feel really low


Yeah, there's a great truth that you should know

When you're young, gifted and black


Your soul's intact




To be 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

Is where it's at


Is where it's at
