Look Away
Lyricist:Kate Campbell, Walt Aldrige
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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
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
