Hurringly stepping so proud
Mother nature's only God child
Society salutes you today
And we'd like to say:
God bless, miss black america
Watch over, miss black america
She cried tears of success
We wish her long happiness
Miss black america

Of their past, just explain

None other than miss black america
She cried tears of success
