Lyrics

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
How long must women wait for liberty?
How long must we wait?
Must we wait?
Must we wait?
She went into trial, a laugh on her lips
She once told me discouragement only excited her
So brilliant a speaker we can't afford to lose
She belonged to life
To the struggling actuality of the Earth
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?
How many more dignities deferred?
How many more told to know our place?
How many more girls will go unheard?
How many more doors shut in our face?
How many more Joan's burned at the stake?
How many more of us will it take?
How long?
How long
'Til it's too late?
Will we wait?
Alice, what do we do now?
Will we wait?
Meet me at the White House gates at dawn
Will we wait?
Will we wait?
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 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!
