Letra de To Be Young, Gifted and Black (Live at Philharmonic Hall, New York, NY - October 1969)
Young, gifted and black Oh what a lovely precious dream To be young, gifted and black Open your heart to what I meanIn 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 begunWhen you feel really low Yeah, there's a great truth that you should know When you're young, gifted and black Your soul's intactTo 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 youthOh 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
