To Be Young, Gifted & Black Lyrics - Anthology - Nina Simone

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 was a billion 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 

Your's is the quest that's just begun

When you feel really low 

Yeah, there's a great truth that you should know 

When you're young, gifted and black 

Your soul's intact 

To be young, gifted and black 

Oh how I long to know the truth 

There are times when I look back 

And I am haunted by my youth 

Photos 

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 

Is where it's at 

Is where it's at
