To be 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 are 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 Yours is the quest that's just begun When you feel really low There's a great truth you should know You are young, gifted and black Your soul's intact To be young, gifted and black How I long to know the truth There are times when I look back And I am haunted by my youth And 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
