Luyện nghe bài hát Anne Braden

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

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

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

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

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

lastin impressions
Adolescences gone
She never thought would ever change
But she always knew there was somethin

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

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

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

Then from her she heard her jailers grumblin about outsiders
When she called him out and said she was from the
shouted, Why is a nice Southern lady
Makin for the governor?

She said, I guess I'm not your 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 there was wrong
She always there was somethin wrong
She always knew there was somethin
She always knew there was somethin

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

Imagine the world youre standin within
All of your neighbors and friends
How you cope facin the fact
The flesh on their was tainted with sin?

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

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

And she saw that her struggle was in the
Of ancestors aware of her
It today, the soul of a Southerner
of the other America

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

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

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