Nina Simone
앨범 : The Essential

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's a million 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
This is a quest that's just begun
When you feel really low
there's a great truth that you should know
When you're young, gifted and black Your soul's intact
How long to be 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!
