Ella's Song, by Sweet Honey in the Rock

This was the song she played in the end of her last lecture. Here, a video that includes the lyrics. 

Tiffany Ruby Patterson – Lecture 5 - Conclusion





What if we found the guilt in ourselves?
What if things are not as we were taught?
What if we could bring the fault of all our ancestors to ourselves?
What if?

What if now I could change that?
What if now I understand what was done in the past?
What if now I can change the future of my descendants?
What if?

What?
What if?
No more if
No more

More
Now, more
More now
Now

She is an amazing woman!
