Musical Superstars @MatthewWhitakerOfficial and @AloeBlacc performing the classic "What A Wonderful World" with students from the New York Institute for Special Education (N.Y.I.S.E.) during the #AFB100 Art of Inclusion Concert.

Matthew, a young black man with short hair and sunglasses, plays the piano. Aloe Blacc, an African-American man wearing a leather jacket and a stylish porkpie hat, stands at a microphone.

Aloe Blacc + Students:
I see trees of green
Red roses, too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I see skies of blue
Clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cry, yeah,
Watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
