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
Together they grow to see the light

To see the light

Come on  get it  get it

Ohh-ohhhh  yeah  yeah
Keep it up now  around the world

Little boys and little girls

Yeah  yeah-eah  oh-ohhh
