[00:17.61]From the color of the faces in Sunday songs\r
[00:20.37]To the hatred they raised all the youngsters on\r
[00:22.16]Once upon in this country long ago\r
[00:24.22]She knew there was something wrong\r
[00:26.29]Because the song said \"Yellow, Red, Black, and White\"\r
[00:28.32]Everyone precious in the path of Christ\r
[00:30.16]But what about the daughter of the woman cleaning their house?\r
[00:32.20]Wasnt she a child they were singing about?\r
[00:34.28]And if Jesus loves us, black and white skin\r
[00:36.19]Why didnt her white mother invite them in?\r
[00:37.94]When did it become a room for no blacks to step in?\r
[00:40.12]How did she already know not the ask the question?\r
[00:42.21]Left lasting impressions, adolescence comforts gone\r
[00:45.72]She never thought things would ever change but\r
[00:48.31]She always knew there was something wrong\r
[00:50.26]She always knew there was something wrong\r
[00:57.77]She always knew there was something wrong\r
[01:05.59]Years later she found herself\r
[01:07.90]Mississippi bound to help\r
[01:10.08]Stop the legalized lynching of\r
[01:11.82]Mr. Willy McGee\r
[01:13.73]But they couldnt stop it\r
[01:15.40]So they thought that theyd talk to the governor about what happened\r
[01:17.63]And say \"Were tired of being used as an excuse to kill black men\"\r
[01:21.72]But the cops wouldnt let em past and\r
[01:24.09]These women they struck em as uppity\r
[01:26.13]So they hauled them all off to jail\r
[01:27.86]And they called it protective custody\r
[01:29.89]And from her cell she heard her jailors grumblin about outsiders\r
[01:33.80]When she called them out and said she was from the South they shouted:\r
[01:37.49]\"Why is a nice southern lady makin trouble for the governor?\"\r
[01:41.71]She said \"I guess Im not your type of lady,\r
[01:43.63]and I guess Im not your type of Southerner\r
[01:45.85]But before you call me traitor, well its plainest just to say\r
[01:49.69]I was a child in Mississippi but Im ashamed of it today.\"\r
[01:54.06]She always knew there was something wrong\r
[02:01.60]She always knew there was something wrong\r
[02:09.65]She always knew there was something wrong\r
[02:17.67]She always knew there was something wrong\r
[02:25.88]Imagine the world that youre standing within\r
[02:28.25]All of your neighbors, your family friends\r
[02:30.11]How would you cope facing the fact\r
[02:32.18]The flesh on their hands was tainted with sin?\r
[02:34.08]She faced this every day\r
[02:35.32]People she saw on a regular basis\r
[02:37.56]People she loved in several cases\r
[02:39.58]People she knew were incredibly racist\r
[02:41.66]It was painful, but she never stopped lovin them\r
[02:44.21]Never stopped calling their names\r
[02:45.64]And she never stopped being a Southern Woman\r
[02:47.98]And she never stopped fighting for change\r
[02:49.99]And she saw that her struggle was in the tradition of ancestors never aware of her\r
[02:54.13]It continues today, the soul of a Southerner\r
[02:56.24]Born of the Other America\r
[02:57.88]She always knew there was something wrong\r
[03:05.74]She always knew there was something wrong\r
[03:13.55]She always knew there was something wrong\r
[03:21.70]She always knew there was something wrong\r
