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 of the faces in Sunday songs
To the hatred they raised all the on
Once upon a in this country, long ago
She knew was somethin wrong

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

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

Left impressions
comforts gone
She never thought things would change
But she knew there was somethin wrong

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

Years later she herself Mississippi bound
To help stop the legalized lynchin of Mr. McGee
But couldnt stop 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 they 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
When she called him out and said she was the South
shouted, Why is a nice Southern lady
Makin for the governor?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

She always there 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 little compared to the you put into it
But if you see that as a
Of total movement to build a new world
You know what cathedral you're
When you put your in

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