Young, Gifted And Black [instrumental] Lyrics - Aretha Franklin

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, is all I need 

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 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 feelin' real low 

Here's a great truth you should remember and know 

That you're young, gifted, and black 

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