Luyện nghe bài hát Anne Braden

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

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

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

Because the song said yellow, red, black, and
Everyone in the path of Christ
But what about the daughter of the woman cleanin their
Wasnt she a they 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 know not to ask the question?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Imagine the world that youre standin
All of your and family friends
How would you facin the fact
The flesh on hands was tainted with sin?

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

It was painful but she never stopped them
Never stopped callin their
And she stopped bein a Southern woman
And she never fightin 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 there was somethin wrong
She knew there was somethin wrong
She always knew there was somethin
She always knew there was wrong

you win in the immediate battles is
Is little compared to the effort you put it
But if you see as a part
Of this total movement to a new world
You know what cathedral you're
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 America
There is an America
