Ragtime: The Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording)l
He Wanted to Say
I... I... I want to... I know that if
He wanted to say
I am here because I have to be
He wanted to say
I am here for what is right
Every day I wake up knowing
What you've lost and what is owing
I would shed this skin if I could
To stand with you and fight
He wanted to say
I am not who I appear to be
He wanted to say
Do not blame me for my past
We have different lives and faces
But our hearts have common places
This was deep inside me
And you helped me find it at last
Two men meeting
For a moment in the darkness
One turning from
One waking to
...America!
Two men finding
For a moment in the darkness
They're the same
They're the same
He wanted to say
I envy you your innocence
He wanted to say
By your side I would be brave
If there's such a thing as justice
Let me help you find you justice
This I do for you and for Sarah
Who lies in her grave
But all he said was
I know how to blow things up
Two men meeting
For a moment
In the darkness
For a moment
In the darkness
He wanted to say
I am here because I have to be
He wanted to say
I am here for what is right
Every day I wake up knowing
What you've lost and what is owing
I would shed this skin if I could
To stand with you and fight
He wanted to say
I am not who I appear to be
He wanted to say
Do not blame me for my past
We have different lives and faces
But our hearts have common places
This was deep inside me
And you helped me find it at last
Two men meeting
For a moment in the darkness
One turning from
One waking to
...America!
Two men finding
For a moment in the darkness
They're the same
They're the same
He wanted to say
I envy you your innocence
He wanted to say
By your side I would be brave
If there's such a thing as justice
Let me help you find you justice
This I do for you and for Sarah
Who lies in her grave
But all he said was
I know how to blow things up
Two men meeting
For a moment
In the darkness
For a moment
In the darkness
