Lyrics
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 the 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, we plainly see
We'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 the 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 the 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)
C'mon
Get it
Get it
Oh-oh, yeah
Yeah, keep it up now
Around the world
Little boys
Little girls
Yeah, yeah, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Yeah
