The ink is black
The page is white
Together we learn
To read and write
A child is black
A child is white
The whole world
Looks upon a sight
A beautiful sight
And now a child
Can understand
That this is the law
Of all the land
All the land
The world is black
The world is white
It turns by day
And then by night
A child is black
A child is white
Together they grow
To see the light
To see the light
And now at last
They plainly see
They'll have a dance
Of liberty, liberty
The world is black
The world is white
It turns by day
And then by night
A child is black
A child is white
The whole world
Looks upon a sight
A beautiful sight
The world is black
The world is white
It turns by day
And then by night
A child is black
A child is white
Together they grow
To see the light
To see the light
The world is black
The world is white
It turns by day
And then by night
A child is black
A child is white
The whole world
Looks upon a sight
A beautiful sight...
