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

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

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

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

Left lastin
Adolescences gone
She never thought things would change
But she always there was somethin wrong

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

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

But the cops 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 she heard her jailers grumblin about outsiders
When she called him out and said she was the South
They shouted, Why is a nice Southern
trouble for the governor?

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

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

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

Imagine the world that youre within
All of neighbors and family friends
How you cope facin the fact
The flesh on hands was tainted with sin?

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

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

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

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

What you win in the immediate is
Is little compared to the effort you put it
But if you see as a part
Of total movement to build a new world
You know what cathedral buildin
you put your stone in

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