Black And White Lyrics - Singles - Three Dog Night

- words by David Arkin, music by Earl Robinson, © 1956 

The ink is black, the page is white 

Together we learn to read and write 

A child is black, a child is white 

The whole world looks upon the sight, a beautiful sight 

And now a child can understand 

That this is the law of all the land, all the land 

The world is black, the world is white 

It turns by day and then by night 

A child is black, a child is white 

Together they grow to see the light, to see the light 

And now at last we plainly see 

We'll have a dance of Liberty, Liberty!

The world is black, the world is white 

It turns by day and then by night 

A child is black, a child is white 

The whole world looks upon the sight, a beautiful sight 

The world is black, the world is white 

It turns by day and then by night 

A child is black, a child is white 

Together they grow to see the light, to see the light 

The world is black, the world is white 

It turns by day and then by night 

A child is black, a child is white 

The whole world looks upon the sight, a beautiful sight 

The world is black, the world is white 

It turns by day and then by night 

A child is black, a child is white 

Together they grow to see the light, to see the light
