Young, Gifted and Black (Nina Simone, 1994)<\/h2>\n

Young, gifted and black
Oh what a lovely precious dream
To be young, gifted and black
Open your heart to what I mean<\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n

To bring some lovin’ here today, yeah<\/p>\n
