Fat Bottomed Boys - Get Away (feat. Secret Garden and The Dusty Man)

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
