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 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!(Repeat)
(2nd time thru the chorus repeat and fade on 'to see the light.')
