Black and White
Embracing Diversity: A World of Harmony in Black and White
Lyrics
The ink is black, the page is white
The contrast between black ink and white paper symbolizes diversity and the beginning of understanding.
Together we learn to read and write
Collaboration and education are essential for mutual understanding and progress.
A child is black, a child is white
Highlighting the diversity among children, irrespective of their race.
The whole world looks upon the sight, a beautiful sight
The world admires the beauty of diversity and sees it as a positive sight.
And now a child can understand
Children now comprehend and accept the universal law that applies to everyone.
That this is the law of all the land, all the land
Emphasizing that equality is the law that governs the entire land.
The world is black, the world is white
Reiteration of the contrasting nature of the world, turning day and night.
It turns by day and then by night
Continued emphasis on the cyclical nature of life and time.
A child is black, a child is white
Highlighting the growth of children, transcending racial differences to embrace enlightenment.
Together they grow to see the light, to see the light
Children growing together to understand and appreciate the light, symbolizing knowledge and unity.
And now, at last, we plainly see
The realization that equality leads to a celebration of freedom and liberty.
We'll have a dance of liberty, liberty
The joyous expression of freedom through a dance, a symbol of unity and liberation.
The world is black, the world is white
Reiteration of the world's contrasting nature and its continuous cycle.
It turns by day and then by night
Reemphasizing the cyclical nature of day and night in the world.
A child is black, a child is white
Repetition of the diversity among children and the positive perception of the world.
The whole world looks upon the sight, a beautiful sight
The entire world appreciates the beauty of diversity, echoing the earlier sentiment.
The world is black, the world is white
Continued emphasis on the contrasting nature of the world and its cycle.
It turns by day and then by night
Reiteration of the cyclical nature of the world, emphasizing its continuous motion.
A child is black, a child is white
Highlighting the growth of children together towards enlightenment.
Together they grow to see the light, to see the light
Children growing together to embrace the metaphorical light of knowledge and understanding.
The world is black, the world is white
Repeating the contrasting nature of the world and its continuous cycle.
It turns by day and then by night
Reemphasizing the cyclical nature of day and night, a universal aspect of life.
A child is black, a child is white
Reiteration of the diversity among children and their shared journey towards enlightenment.
Together they grow to see the light, to see the light
Children growing together to see and understand the metaphorical light of knowledge.
Come on, get it, get it
Encouraging and expressing enthusiasm for understanding and unity.
Oh-oh, yeah, yeah
An exclamation of excitement and affirmation towards unity and understanding.
Keep it up now, around the world
Urging to maintain the positive momentum of understanding around the world.
Little boys and little girls
Recognition that both boys and girls worldwide contribute to this positive change.
Yeah, yeah, oh-oh
Reiteration of enthusiasm and affirmation towards unity and understanding.
