Luyện nghe bài hát Anne Braden

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

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

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

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

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

lastin impressions
Adolescences comforts
She never things would ever change
But she always knew was somethin wrong

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

later she found herself Mississippi bound
To help the legalized lynchin of Mr. Willie McGee
But couldnt stop it, so, they thought
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 struck em as
So, hauled em all off to jail
And they called it protective

Then from her cell she heard her jailers about outsiders
When she called him out and she was from the South
They shouted, Why is a nice lady
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 just to say
I was a child in Mississippi but I'm ashamed of it

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What you win in the immediate is
Is little compared to the you put into it
But if you see that as a
Of this total movement to 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 part of the of the lynchers
You can join the other
There is an other
