The ink is black, the page is white
Together we learn to read and write
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
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
It turns by night
And now at last we plainly see
The alphabet 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
Together they grow to see the light
To see the light
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Everybody! (See the light)
This is the message to all you people!
Listen now!
I'm shoutin' out! (See the light)
Peace and love!
Heyey, yeah!
All in the wide world!
Live in peace!
Let's live in peace!
