Luyện nghe bài hát Anne Braden

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

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

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

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

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

lastin impressions
Adolescences comforts
She never thought things ever change
But she always knew there was somethin

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It was but she never stopped lovin them
Never stopped callin 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 never of her
It today, the soul of a Southerner
Born of the other

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

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

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