who knows what's right?
lily, you don't have to when you see the moon
you trust it's light. the crickets sing loud
lily, you can hear it in their voices how you've made them proud.
at the top of your voice, there is no doing wrong i swear.
lily, you be just who you are.
don't keep appointments with disappointment,
hiding in a hiding place you don't have to look away,
the mississippi brings new water every day.
look at the sun, how it glows in a million waves . .
lily, there are just as many ways . . .
at the top of your voice, there is no doing wrong i swear. lily, you be just who you are.
southern skies . . . lily, you're connected to the stars and to the world tonight . . .
the night is fair
lily, it can promise that the next day there'll be
so much there . . .
