Get Away ft. Secret Garden and The Dusty Man Lyrics

Innocent child, only six years old

Ruby Bridges, with a heart so bold

Walking to school, so little, all alone

Amidst the hatred, she still stood strong

Escorted by soldiers, every day

Facing bigotry, in every way

White parents pulled their kids from school

But Ruby kept going, breaking all the rules

With courage and grace, she marched on

Inspiring us all, to get along

Her tiny footsteps have left their mark

In the fight for justice, we go with our hearts

Get away, get away from me

That's what they hurled, but she refused to flee

Get away, get away from hate

You're a true hero

You showed us how to challenge our fate

No more judging by the color of skin

No more hating for the beliefs we're in

It's time to open our hearts and embrace

The beauty that comes from each unique face

Oh Ruby, your spirit shines so bright

A beacon of hope in the darkest night

Get away, get away from me

That's what they hurled, but she refused to flee

Get away, get away from hate

You're a true hero

You showed us how to challenge our fate

Ruby Bridges, a true hero

Her story, we will never let go

Get away, get away from hate

We'll keep marching on, until it's too late
