[00:12.13]Ruby's shoes would take her
[00:17.07]A mile or so to school every day
[00:22.80]Where the white people hated her
[00:26.73]They'd scream and hold signs and tell her to go away
[00:33.35]But Ruby's will was stronger
[00:36.72]Than the bigots with the signs could ever know
[00:43.60]She stopped every morning on the corner
[00:48.21]And prayed that someday the pain would go
[00:52.96]And she'd stop and she'd pray
[00:58.76]That all the hatred would go away
[01:03.26]She was only six years old but she knew
[01:06.75]
[01:09.45]Walk a mile in Ruby's shoes
[01:21.99]Ruby sat alone in the classroom
[01:25.98]She never dreamed, the other children wouldn't come
[01:31.16]They hated her for the color of her skin
[01:35.91]Well, color is such an amazing illusion
[01:41.54]She'd stop and she'd pray
[01:46.72]That all the hatred would go away
[01:51.09]She was only six years old but she knew
[01:57.32]Walk a mile in Ruby's shoes
[02:09.62]Now Ruby knew about Dorothy
[02:13.80]And the ruby shoes that she wore
[02:19.47]She wondered about Oz sometimes
[02:23.16]Well, well, no other child ever walked her shoes before
[02:28.22]And she'd stop and she'd pray
[02:33.76]That all the hatred would go away
[02:38.19]She was only six years old but she knew
[02:44.38]Walk a mile in Ruby's shoes
[02:51.86]Ruby, if birds can always fly
[02:58.87]Why, oh, why can't you and I
[03:09.28]
[03:11.03]Ruby's shoes would take her
[03:15.41]A mile or so to school every day
[03:20.89]Where the white people hated her
[03:24.95]They'd scream and hold signs and tell her to go away
[03:29.45]And she'd stop and she'd pray
[03:35.06]That all the hatred would go away
[03:39.30]She'd stop and she'd pray
[03:44.54]That no other children would be raised this way, Ruby's shoes
[04:00.58]
[04:01.70]If birds can fly
[04:03.70]Then why, oh, why
[04:06.08]If birds can fly then why, oh, why can't I
