Andrea Grody - I Was Here Lyrics

[ENSEMBLE]
I've never felt so alive before
Out here together
I realize I'm not alone anymore
I feel a part of something bigger
Than me (I feel a part of)
Something bigger exploding open
I feel my world completely change
I finally feel it change

[IDA, spoken]
Hello, Ida Wells speaking

[MARY, spoken]
It's Mary, here with Phyllis in Nashville

[IDA, spoken]
And?
Mary, what happened?

[MARY, spoken]
It passed

[IDA, spoken]
They did it
[MARY, spoken]
We did it

[IDA, spoken]
Go on now
Tell me how much easier this all would have been
Without my troublemakin'

[MARY, spoken]
Not this time

[IDA, spoken]
I bet all the white ladies were cryin' rivers, huh?

[PHYLLIS, spoken]
Oh, they sure were
But me and Mama, we danced our way right out the State House
Didn't we?

[IDA, spoken]
Your mama dancin'
Now I would like to see that

[MARY, spoken]
I like to dance, okay?
[IDA, spoken]
They'll still stop our women from voting
Same as they do to our men

[MARY, spoken]
I know
But I'm so tired of fightin'

[PHYLLIS]
As so, lifting as we climb
Onward and upward we go

[PHYLLIS, spoken]
Say it, Mama

[MARY]
And so

[IDA]
Lifting as we climb

[IDA, MARY & PHYLLIS]
Onward and upward we go
And so, lifting as we climb
Onward and upward we go
[MARY]
I want my mother to know I was here

[IDA]
I want my sisters to know I was here

[PHYLLIS]
I want my great-granddaughter to know I was here

[MARY]
I was here

[IDA & PHYLLIS, MARY]
I want your mother to know I was here (I was here)
I want your children to know I was here

[IDA, MARY & PHYLLIS]
I want your great-granddaughter to know
I need her to know I was here
