The ink is black
 The page is white
 Together we learn to read and write
 The child is black
 The child is white
 The whole world looks upon the sight
 The 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
 The child is black
 The 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
 The world is black
 The world is white
 It turns by day and then by night
 The child is black
 The child is white
 The whole world looks upon the sight
 The beautiful sight
 
 The world is black
 The world is white
 It turns by day and the by night
 The child id black
 The child is white
 Together they grow to see the light
 To see the light
