Donny Hathaway - Rebel Music

To Be Young, Gifted and Black

Young, Gifted and Black

To be young, gifted and black
Oh what a lovely precious dream.
To be young, gifted and black
Open up your heart to what I mean
'Cause you know in this whole wide world
There's a million, A MILLION boys and girls
Who are young, gifted and black
And that's a fact!

To be young, gifted and black
We must begin to tell our young
Don't you know there's a whole world waiting for you?
Don't you know the quest has just begun for you?
Haven't you heard that the joy-
The joy!
The joy of the day is
That one day that we all be proud to say
That we were young, gifted and black
And it's sho' 'nuff where it's at!
