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 

Aah aah ..... - yeah yeah yeah - ev'rybody - see the light 
This is the message - to all you people - peace and love 
Got to shout it out - see the light - peace and love - hey yeah yeah 
All around the world - we need peace - see the light ....
