[00:17.61]From the color of the faces in Sunday songs
[00:20.37]To the hatred they raised all the youngsters on
[00:22.16]Once upon in this country long ago
[00:24.22]She knew there was something wrong
[00:26.29]Because the song said "Yellow, Red, Black, and White"
[00:28.32]Everyone precious in the path of Christ
[00:30.16]But what about the daughter of the woman cleaning their house?
[00:32.20]Wasn't she a child they were singing about?
[00:34.28]And if Jesus loves us, black and white skin
[00:36.19]Why didn't her white mother invite them in?
[00:37.94]When did it become a room for no blacks to step in?
[00:40.12]How did she already know not the ask the question?
[00:42.21]Left lasting impressions, adolescence comforts gone
[00:45.72]She never thought things would ever change but
[00:48.31]She always knew there was something wrong
[00:50.26]She always knew there was something wrong
[00:57.77]She always knew there was something wrong
[01:05.59]Years later she found herself
[01:07.90]Mississippi bound to help
[01:10.08]Stop the legalized lynching of
[01:11.82]Mr. Willy McGee
[01:13.73]But they couldn't stop it
[01:15.40]So they thought that they'd talk to the governor about what happened
[01:17.63]And say "We're tired of being used as an excuse to kill black men"
[01:21.72]But the cops wouldn't let 'em past and
[01:24.09]These women they struck 'em as uppity
[01:26.13]So they hauled them all off to jail
[01:27.86]And they called it protective custody
[01:29.89]And from her cell she heard her jailors grumblin' about outsiders
[01:33.80]When she called them out and said she was from the South they shouted:
[01:37.49]"Why is a nice southern lady makin' trouble for the governor?"
[01:41.71]She said "I guess I'm not your type of lady,
[01:43.63]and I guess I'm not your type of Southerner
[01:45.85]But before you call me traitor, well its plainest just to say
[01:49.69]I was a child in Mississippi but I'm ashamed of it today."
[01:54.06]She always knew there was something wrong
[02:01.60]She always knew there was something wrong
[02:09.65]She always knew there was something wrong
[02:17.67]She always knew there was something wrong
[02:25.88]Imagine the world that you're standing within
[02:28.25]All of your neighbors, your family friends
[02:30.11]How would you cope facing the fact
[02:32.18]The flesh on their hands was tainted with sin?
[02:34.08]She faced this every day
[02:35.32]People she saw on a regular basis
[02:37.56]People she loved in several cases
[02:39.58]People she knew were incredibly racist
[02:41.66]It was painful, but she never stopped lovin' them
[02:44.21]Never stopped calling their names
[02:45.64]And she never stopped being a Southern Woman
[02:47.98]And she never stopped fighting for change
[02:49.99]And she saw that her struggle was in the tradition of ancestors never aware of her
[02:54.13]It continues today, the soul of a Southerner
[02:56.24]Born of the Other America
[02:57.88]She always knew there was something wrong
[03:05.74]She always knew there was something wrong
[03:13.55]She always knew there was something wrong
[03:21.70]She always knew there was something wrong
[03:29.24]
