The ink is black
The page is white
Together we learn to read and write
A child is black
A child is white
A whole world looks upon the sight
A beautiful sightAnd now a child can understand
That this is the law of all the land
All the landThe 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 lightAnd now at last we plainly see
We'll have a dance of 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
