Artist/Band: Nina Simone
Lyrics for Song: To Be Young, Gifted And Black
Lyrics for Album: S.O.U.L. [2011]



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'll 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

Yours is the quest that's just begun



When you're feeling real low

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've longed 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,Is where it's at,Is where it's at!
