Suffs (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
I Was Here
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)
Something bigger, exploding open
I feel my world completely change
I finally feel it change
Hello, Ida Wells speaking
It's Mary, here with Phyllis in Nashville
And? Mary, what happened?
It passed
They did it
We did it
Go on now
Tell me how much easier this all would've been without my trouble making
Not this time
I bet all the white ladies were crying rivers, huh?
Oh, they sure were, but me and mama
We danced our way right out of the State House, didn't we?
Your mama dancing, now I would like to see that
I like to dance, okay?
They'll still stop our women from voting
Same as they do to our men
I know, but I'm so tired of fighting
And so, lifting as we climb
Onward and upward we go
Say it, mama
And so, lifting as we climb
Onward and upward we go
And so, lifting as we climb
Onward and upward we go
I want my mother to know I was here
I want my sisters to know I was here
I want my great-granddaughter to know I was here
I want your mother to know I was here
I want your children to know I was here
I want your great-granddaughter to know
I need her to know I was here
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)
Something bigger, exploding open
I feel my world completely change
I finally feel it change
