He Wanted to Say

Lyrics

EMMA
 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:
 YOUNGER BROTHER
 I am not who I appear to be.
 EMMA
 He wanted to say:
 YOUNGER BROTHER
 Do not blame me for my past.
 BOTH
 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
 EMMA
 Two men meeting
 For a moment in the darkness
 COALHOUSE
 One turning from...
 YOUNGER BROTHER
 One waking to...
 ALL THREE
 ...America!
 Two men finding
 For a moment in the darkness...
 YOUNGER BROTHER & COALHOUSE
 They're the same.
 EMMA
 They're the same.
 COALHOUSE'S MEN
 He wanted to say:
 COALHOUSE
 How I envy you your innocence.
 EMMA & COALHOUSE'S MEN
 He wanted to say:
 YOUNGER BROTHER
 By your side I could be brave
 If there's such a thing as justice
 Let me help you find your justice
 This I do for you and for Sarah
 Who lies in her grave...
 EMMA & MEN
 But all he said was...
 YOUNGER BROTHER
 I know how to blow things up.
 EMMA GOLDMAN, MEN
 Two men meeting
 For a moment
 In the darkness.
 For a moment
 In the darkness.
