Luyện nghe bài hát Anne Braden

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

That what really in the '60s
Was that this country took just the step
Toward admittin that it had been wrong on
And creativity out in all directions

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

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

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

Left lastin
Adolescences gone
She never things would ever change
But she always there was somethin wrong

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Imagine the world that youre within
All of your and family friends
How would you cope facin the
The flesh on their hands was tainted with

She this every day
In she saw on a regular basis
People she loved in several
People she knew were incredibly

It was painful but she stopped lovin them
stopped callin their names
And she never stopped a Southern woman
And she never stopped for change

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

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

you win in the immediate battles is
Is little compared to the effort you put it
But if you see that as a
Of this movement to build a new world
You know what you're buildin
When you put stone in

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