To Be Young, Gifted And Black — текст песни (Nina Simone)


(1969) Nina Simone, Weldon Irvine jr

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 billion boys and girls
Who are young, gifted and black,
And that`s a fact!

Young, gifted and black
We must begin to tell our young
There`s a world waiting for you
This is a quest that`s just begun

When you feel really low
Yeah, there`s a great truth you should know
When you`re young, gifted and black
Your soul`s intact

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

Oh but my joy of today
Is that we can all be proud to say
To be young, gifted and black
Is where it`s at
