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
