Andra Day covers the iconic song "Strange Fruit.” Originally performed by Billie Holiday in 1939, the song protests lynching, a form of racial terror which took more than 4,000 African American lives and reinforced white supremacy. Most states have no memorials commemorating lynching sites, some of which are featured in this video.
Andra, in partnership with the Equal Justice Initiative, sheds light on this difficult history and the ways that racial injustice continues. In order to move forward, we must confront our past.

BRICKS by Andra Day
What we do is what we do
Brick by brick thats how we move
No foundation
(building with bricks that we were never given)
I am your safe place (safe place)
(filling the places we were never filled in) And you are my treasure
Who can say its not a miracle
What we do is what we do
(Painting a picture we never envisioned)
We built what we’ve never seen before
(Forgiving when we have never known forgiveness)
Light came from the void
(Learning to hear when no one ever listened)
Who can say we’re not a miracle
Learning to heal when no one ever healed, healed us
She produced a miracle
Hands of pain and grace unfold
Empty but she filled you
Giving you life that she was never given
And now Im so grateful
She made all things possible
A firm foundation
Believing when her world gave nothing to believe (to believe in)
What we do is what we do
And brick by brick thats how we move New foundation
(built with bricks that we were never given)

Forever Mine Lyrics:
My heart has been a chessboard
Making moves and losing out
Played so many times before
And there ain’t nothing to brag about
But this must be a new brew
When you’re gone I’m singing Blue Moon
You turn me all the way around
And I’m tired of the fine line
I just want you to be, be
Forever mine (Be forever mine)
Be forever mine (Be forever mine)
Oh and there’s nothing I can sing now
That ain’t been sung before
Oh but your love is a standout
So go on ahead and take the floor
You had to Jimi my heart loose
Now I’m stuck in your voodoo
Pick me up, don’t ever put me down
Look I’m tired of the fine line
I just want you to be, to be
Forever mine (be forever mine)
I want you to be forever mine (be forever mine)
The way that you move, never seen it before
Looking for my head, can’t find it no more
You ransom my heart and I get the reward
Winning the crown like a Trojan horse
I come back, back, back every time
You got me shook like the Mobb when they rhyme
Come out of nowhere come blessing my life
I just want you to be forever mine, oh oh
(Be forever mine)
(Be forever mine)
But you was cooking up a new stew
Must have put something in my food
’Cause now I’m lost up in the clouds
Oh and I’m tired of the fine line
I just want you to be, be, be
Forever mine (be forever mine)
Oh you gotta be, be forever mine (be forever mine)
(Be forever mine)
(Be forever mine)")

Lyrics:
He dont know I call him the teacher
He had a hard lesson for the kid
I get I put you through hell
He put me under the same spell
He lied man, he stressed me out
You loved me like a precious gift
And he loved me like a sloppy kiss
You would tell me your heartaches
Now I understand the pain
Oh why did I let you drown
Baby would you believe
That Ive been broken
You say memories
Play again and again
I see the reel now its real to me
I gave up gold
For grains of sand
Slipping through my hand (2X)
You had no problems with commitment
Like a king is loyal to what’s his
You looked for a ring to fit
While I played wifey with a kid
Oh the irony makes me sick
He tried to make me look crazy
Nothing new about his kind of scheme
I laugh when I think about
His face when truth nearly spilled out
He looked like me I get that now
Baby would you believe
That Ive been broken
You say memories
Play again and again
I see the reel, now its real to me
I gave up gold
For grains of sand
Slipping through my hand (4X)
Baby would you believe
That Ive been broken
You say memories
Play again and again
I see the reel, now its real to me
I gave up gold
For grains of sand
Slipping through my hand (4X)")

MIDNIGHT LYRICS:
I left my heart at midnight
Keep listening
No calling card, just stranded at the street light It gets cold when youre all alone
But I don’t feel that
No not no more
I been holding on too long but I let it go
When I let it go
I left my heart at midnight (midnight)
No calling card (calling card), just goodbye And now I’m free I’m lost
I’m free I’m lost
Lost im free I’m lost
I cut all ties at twilight
tasted new life oh with goodbye
Now I wander through the known but it’s seasoned a little different Indifference fills my nose
And I knew then it was permanent
I left my heart at midnight (midnight) No calling card, just goodbye
Now I’m free I’m lost I’m free I’m lost Lost I’m free I’m lost
I left my heart at midnight
No calling card just goodbye
Now I’m free I’m lost I’m free I’m lost Lost I’m free I’m lost")

Lyrics:
City Burns
The scent of momentum fills the city air
Hear the heart beat, its alive and draws you in
Things will never be the same
Thought Id been here, but never here times before
Then the roller coaster dipped and sped along no more
But Im not in the same space. Cuz Im hardly the woman that I once was
Now I search for the ground underneath my feet
As the city burns, as the city burns
Ooh
As the city burns (3x)
Burns away
Burns away
Now its fancy ladies, pricey wiles, and argyle
From homemade beats, selling tees, and running wild
Just hope I dont lose my head
And now Im thinking on a dream that my sister had
Back then I was too young to see it wasnt bad
So thanks chick, by the way
Cuz Im hardly the woman that I once was
Now I search for the ground underneath my feet
As the city burns, as the city burnsOohAs the city burns (3x)
Burns away
Burns away
Were at a run right now
Before we were at a steady jog
And Im trying to hang on to whatever I can find
Because what do you do when its spinning so fast
How do you stand with the world on your back
Im hardly the woman I once wassearch for the ground underneath my feet
As the city burns, as the city burns
Ooh
As the city burns (2x)
Ooh
Burns away
Burns away")
