Andrea Grody - How Long Lyrics

[ALICE]
She was impatient, magnetic, unapologetic
It was almost annoying how easily she seemed to shine
You could hide nothing from her
She read you like a book
She'd have been wrecked by the results of this election
But she'd have poured us a drink and reminded us
Not to lose hope
She knew her smile was all that it took

The last thing she said is the question we're now asking
Over and over
As we look back
As we look forward

[ENSEMBLE]
How long
Must women wait for liberty?
How long
Must we wait?
Must we wait?
Must we wait?

[LUCY]
She went into trial, a laugh on her lips
[DORIS]
She once told me discouragement only excited her

[CARRIE]
So brilliant a speaker
We can't afford to lose

[MARY & IDA]
She belonged to life

[MARY]
To the struggling actuality of the Earth

[ENSEMBLE]
I used to
I used to wish
I could be in her shoes
With her voice ringing out
The centuries seemed
Like repetitions
Of an ancient song
Singing

How long
Must women wait for liberty?
How long
Must we wait?
Must we wait?
Must we wait?
How many more marches in the streets?
How many more efforts gone to waste?
How many more deafening defeats?
How many more histories erased?

[IDA & ENSEMBLE]
How many more

[IDA]
Dignities deferred?

[IDA & ENSEMBLE]
How many more

[IDA]
Told to know our place?

[IDA & ENSEMBLE]
How many more

[IDA]
Girls will go unheard?

[IDA & ENSEMBLE]
How many more doors shut in our face?
[ENSEMBLE]
How many more Joans burned at the stake?
How many more of us will it take?

How long?
How long?
'Til it's too late
Will we wait?

[LUCY, spoken]
Alice, what do we do now?

[ENSEMBLE]
Will we wait?

[ALICE, spoken]
Meet me at the White House gates at dawn

[ENSEMBLE]
Will we wait?
Will we wait?

[ALICE]
We won't wait another day

[GROUP]
We won't wait another day

[COMPANY]
We won't wait another day
We won't wait
We won't wait
We won't

We won't wait
Another day (We won't wait another day)
We won't wait
Another day (We won't wait another day)
We won't wait
Another day (We won't wait another day)

We won't wait
We won't wait
We won't

We won't wait
We won't wait
We won't

We won't wait
We won't wait
We won't wait!
