Luyện nghe bài hát Anne Braden

What Ive since is
That it is a painful process
But it is not
Its the world

That what really happened in the
Was that this took just the first step
Toward admittin that it had been on race
And burst out in all directions

From the color of the faces in songs
To the hatred they raised all the on
Once a time in this country, long ago
She knew was somethin wrong

Because the song yellow, red, black, and white
Everyone in the path of Christ
But what the daughter of the woman cleanin their house
Wasnt she a child were singin about?

And if loves us black and white skin
Why didn't her white mother invite in?
When did it become a room for no to step in?
How did she already know not to ask the

lastin impressions
Adolescences comforts
She never thought would ever change
But she knew there was somethin wrong

She always knew was somethin wrong
She always there was somethin wrong

Years later she found Mississippi bound
To help stop the legalized lynchin of Mr. Willie
But couldnt stop it, so, they thought
That theyd talk to the governor about happened and say
Were tired of bein used as an excuse to kill men

But the cops let em past
And women they struck em as uppity
So, they em all off to jail
And they it protective custody

Then from her cell she her jailers grumblin about outsiders
she called him out and said she was from the South
They shouted, Why is a Southern lady
trouble for the governor?

She said, I guess I'm not your of lady
And I guess I'm not your type of
But before you me traitor, well, its plainest just to say
I was a child in Mississippi but I'm of it today

She knew there was somethin wrong
She knew there was somethin wrong
She always knew was somethin wrong
She always knew was somethin wrong

And all of a sudden I that I was on the other side

Imagine the world that youre within
All of your neighbors and family
How you cope facin the fact
The flesh on hands was tainted with sin?

She faced every day
In people she saw on a regular
People she loved in cases
People she knew were racist

It was painful but she never stopped them
Never stopped their names
And she never stopped bein a woman
And she never fightin for change

And she saw her struggle was in the tradition
Of ancestors never of her
It continues today, the soul of a
Born of the other

She always there was somethin wrong
She always knew there was wrong
She always there was somethin wrong
She always knew there was somethin

What you win in the immediate is
Is little compared to the you put into it
But if you see that as a
Of total movement to build a new world
You know what cathedral buildin
you put your stone in

You do have a
You don't have to be a part of the world of the
You can the other America
is an other America
