歌詞
Hold your head as high as you can
High enough to see who you are, little man
Life sometimes is cold and cruel
Baby no one else will tell you so remember that
You are black gold, black gold
You are black gold
Now maybe no one else has ever told you so
But you're golden, baby
Black gold with a diamond soul
(A diamond soul, yeah)
Think of all the strength you have in you
From the blood you carry within you
Ancient men, powerful men
Builders of civilization
They'll be folks hell-bent on putting you down
Don't get burned
(Don't get burned)
Not necessarily everyone will know your worth
(No no no, all your worth)
Think of all the strength you have in you
From the blood you carry within you
Ancient men, powerful men
Builders of civilization
Think of all the strength you have in you
(Think of all the strength you have in you)
Powerful, powerful men
Builders of civilization
Hold your head as high as you can
High enough to see who you are, little man
Life sometimes is cold and cruel
Baby no one else will tell you so remember that
You are black gold, black gold
You are black gold
Think of all the strength you have in you
From the blood you carry within you
Ancient men, powerful men
Builders of civilization
Think of all the strength you have
Blood you carry within you
Ancient men, powerful men
Builders of civilization
Hold your head as high as you can
High enough to see who you are, little man
Life sometimes is cold and cruel
Baby no one else will tell you so remember that
You are black gold, black gold
You are black gold
You are black gold, black gold
You are black gold
You are black gold, black gold
You are black gold
You are black gold, black gold
You are black gold
Hold your head as high as you can
High enough to see who you are, little man
Life sometimes is cold and cruel
Baby no one else will tell you so remember that
You are black gold
You are black gold
You are, you are, you are
Hold your head up, don't give up
You are black gold, you are
You are black gold, black gold, black gold, black gold
