Luyện nghe bài hát Anne Braden

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

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

From the of the faces in Sunday songs
To the they raised all the youngsters on
Once upon a time in this country, ago
She knew there was wrong

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

And if loves us black and white skin
Why her white mother invite them in?
When did it a room 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 there was somethin wrong

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

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

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

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

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

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

the world that youre standin within
All of your and family friends
How would you cope the fact
The flesh on their hands was with sin?

She faced this day
In people she saw on a basis
People she in several cases
People she were incredibly racist

It was painful but she never stopped lovin
Never stopped their names
And she stopped bein a Southern woman
And she never fightin for change

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

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

you win in the immediate battles 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 know cathedral you're buildin
When you put stone in

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