about

This song is about a girl we've never met who had the courage to ask questions and make a difference

lyrics

Oh
Jo Ann, Jo Ann
You don't seem to understand
What it is, your family tree

July, July
You had to leave a friend behind
Just because they say, "you ain't"

Now they're ripping up the pictures
On your brothers bedroom wall
Just because they caught you looking
But you're not sure what you saw

It's cruel, it's cruel
They say, "you're acting the fool"
But you're not sure what that really means

You try, you try
To fight the tears that you cry
When they say that color matters

As you're sneaking out the window
Just to try and find the place
Where you can ask the questions
That makes your momma faint
And even though you're not sure
That place even exists
You're willing to fall, to risk it all
Just to find out if it is
