Luyện nghe bài hát Anne Braden

What Ive realized is
it is a very painful process
But it is not
Its the world

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

the color of the faces in Sunday songs
To the hatred they all the youngsters on
Once a time in this country, long ago
She there was somethin wrong

the song said yellow, red, black, and white
Everyone precious in the of Christ
But what about the daughter of the woman cleanin house
Wasnt she a child they singin about?

And if Jesus loves us and white skin
Why didn't her white mother them in?
When did it become a for no blacks to step in?
How did she already not to ask the question?

Left impressions
comforts gone
She thought things would ever change
But she always knew there was wrong

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

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

But the wouldnt let em past
And these they struck em as uppity
So, they em all off to jail
And they called it custody

Then from her cell she heard her grumblin about outsiders
When she called him out and she was from the South
shouted, Why is a nice Southern lady
Makin trouble for the

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

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

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

Imagine the that youre standin within
All of neighbors and family friends
How would you cope the fact
The flesh on their was tainted with sin?

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

It was but she never stopped lovin them
Never stopped callin names
And she never stopped bein a Southern
And she never stopped for change

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

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

What you win in the battles is
Is little to the effort you put into it
But if you see that as a
Of total movement to build a new world
You know cathedral you're buildin
When you put your in

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