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
