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
