The ink is black, the page is white
Together we learn to read and write
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
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
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
child is black, a child is white
Together they grow to see the light, to see the light
