Текст песни
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's a million boys and girls
Who are young, gifted and black
Young, gifted and black
We must begin to tell our young
There's a world waiting for you
Yours is the quest that's just begun
When you're feeling real low
There's a great truth you should know
To be young, gifted and black
Your soul's intact
Oh, young, gifted and black
Oh, how I long to know the truth
There were times when I look back
When I am haunted by my youth
Oh, but my joys of today
Is that we can all be proud to say
To be young, gifted and black
It's where it's at
It's where it's at
Young, gifted and black
We must begin to tell our young
There's a world waiting for you
Yours is the quest that's just begun
When you're feeling real low
There's a great truth you should know
To be young, gifted and black
Your soul's intact
Oh, young, gifted and black
Oh, how I long to know the truth
There were times when I look back
When I am haunted by my youth
Oh, but my joys of today
Is that we can all be proud to say
To be young, gifted and black
It's where it's at
It's where it's at
