Lori Mckenna - Ruby's Shoes - Sözleri

Ruby's shoes would take her


A mile or so to school every day


Where the white people hated her


They'd scream and hold signs and tell her to go away





But Ruby's will was stronger


Than the bigots with the signs could ever know


She stopped every morning on the corner


And prayed that someday the pain would go





And she'd stop and she'd pray


That all the hatred would go away


She was only six years old but she knew


Walk a mile in Ruby's shoes





Ruby sat alone in the classroom


She never dreamed the other children wouldn't come


They hated her for the color of her skin


Well color is such an amazing illusion





She'd stop and she'd pray


That all the hatred would go away


She was only six years old but she knew


Walk a mile in Ruby's shoes





Now Ruby knew about Dorothy


And the ruby shoes that she wore


She wondered about Oz sometimes


Well, well no other child ever walked her shoes before





And she'd stop and she'd pray


That all the hatred would go away


She was only six years old but she knew


Walk a mile in Ruby's shoes





Ruby, if birds can always fly


Why oh why can't you and I?





Ruby's shoes would take her


A mile or so to school every day


Where the white people hated her


They'd scream and hold signs and tell her to go away





And she'd stop and she'd pray


That all the hatred would go away


She'd stop and she'd pray


That no other children would be raised this way


Ruby's shoes





If birds can fly


Then why oh why


If birds can fly then why oh why can't I
