Luyện nghe bài hát Anne Braden

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

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

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

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

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

lastin impressions
Adolescences comforts
She thought things would ever change
But she always knew was somethin wrong

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

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

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

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

She said, I guess I'm not your type of
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 Mississippi but I'm of it today

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

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

Imagine the world that standin within
All of your and family friends
How would you cope facin the
The flesh on their hands was tainted sin?

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

It was painful but she never lovin them
Never stopped callin names
And she never stopped 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 soul of a
of the other America

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

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