Luyện nghe bài hát Anne Braden

What Ive realized is
That it is a very painful
But it is not
Its the deliberation

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

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

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

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

Left impressions
Adolescences comforts
She never thought things ever change
But she always there was somethin wrong

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

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

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

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

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

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

And all of a I realized that 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 hands was with sin?

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

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

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

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

What you win in the immediate is
Is compared to the effort you put into it
But if you see as a part
Of total movement to build a new world
You what cathedral you're 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
