Tell them they are beautiful
As beautiful as the stars
Tell them they are wonderful
As wonderful as their hearts

Oh, tell them that being black
Is nothing to be ashamed of
Oh, tell them that being black
Is something to be proud of

Tell them they are beautiful
As beautiful as the trees
Tell them they are tender
As tender as a breeze

Oh, tell them that being black
Is nothing to be ashamed of
Oh, tell them that being black
Is something to be proud of

Tell them they are beautiful
As beautiful as the stars
Tell them they are wonderful
As wonderful as their hearts

Oh tell them, Oh tell them
Oh tell them they are beautiful
