Young, Gifted And Black (Alternate Longer Take)

[Intro]

To be young

Gifted and Black

Oh, what a lovely, precious thing

Oh, when you're

Yes, yes, when you're

When you're young

Yeah, thank you, Jesus

Gifted and Black

Open your heart, it's all I need

[Verse]

In this whole world, you know

There are millions of boys and girls

Who are young, gifted, and Black

With their souls intact, and that's a fact

"You are young, gifted, and you're Black"

We must begin to tell our young

"There's a world waiting for you, you

Yours is the quest that's just begun"

When you're feeling real low

Here's a great truth you should remеmber and know

That you're young, gifted, and Black

You got your soul intact, oh, and that's a fact

[Outro]

You'rе young, gifted, and Black

Young, gifted, and Black

Young, gifted, and Black

Young, gifted, and Black

Young, gifted, and Black

Young, gifted, and Black
