Look Away |
| I can still recall the night |
| Lightning burned the mansion down |
| We all stood in out pajamas |
| On that hallowed southern ground |
| When the flames had turned to ashes |
| Only blackened bricks remained |
| And sixteen stately Doric columns |
| There beneath a veil of gray |
| And it’s a long and slow surrender |
| Retreating from the past |
| It’s important to remember |
| To fly the flag half-mast |
| And look away |
| I was taught by elders wiser |
| Love your neighbor, love your God |
| Never saw a cross on fire |
| Never saw an angry mob |
| I saw sweet magnolia blossoms |
| I chased lightening bugs at night |
| Never dreaming others saw our way of life |
| In black and white |
| Part of me hears voices crying |
| Part of me can feel their weight |
| Part of me believes that mansion |
| Stood for something more than hate |
