Young, Gifted and Black
To be young, gifted, and black
Oh, what a lovely precious thing
Oh, when you're, yes, yes, when you're...
When you're young, yeah, thank you, Jesus
Gifted and black
Open your heart is all I need
In this whole world, you know
There are millions of boys and girls
Who are young, gifted and black
With their souls intact, 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, you
Yours is the quest that's just begun
When you're feeling real low
Here's a great truth you should remember and know
That you're young, gifted, and black
You got your soul intact, oh and that's a fact
When you're young, gifted, and black
Oh, it's a mighty sweet thing, yes, it is now
Young, gifted, and black
Oh, my sisters
Young, gifted, and black
You're young and you're black
You got your soul intact
You got the future, don't you know it's a fact?
Young, gifted, and black
Oh, what a lovely precious thing
Oh, when you're, yes, yes, when you're...
When you're young, yeah, thank you, Jesus
Gifted and black
Open your heart is all I need
In this whole world, you know
There are millions of boys and girls
Who are young, gifted and black
With their souls intact, 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, you
Yours is the quest that's just begun
When you're feeling real low
Here's a great truth you should remember and know
That you're young, gifted, and black
You got your soul intact, oh and that's a fact
When you're young, gifted, and black
Oh, it's a mighty sweet thing, yes, it is now
Young, gifted, and black
Oh, my sisters
Young, gifted, and black
You're young and you're black
You got your soul intact
You got the future, don't you know it's a fact?
Young, gifted, and black
