Young gifted & black
Oh what a lovely precious dream
To be young gifted & black
Open your heart to what I mean
In the whole world y’know
There's a million boys & girls
Who are young, gifted & black
And that's a fact
"You are young gifted & 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 feelin really low
Yeah there's great truth that you should know
When you're young gifted & black
Your soul's intact

Happy Birthday Nina Simone
