Suffs (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

[INEZ]
Mr. President, hear our cry
[ENSEMBLE]
Mr. President, hear our cry
[INEZ]
We, the women of the country
[ENSEMBLE]
We, the women of the country
[INEZ & ENSEMBLE]
We, the women of the country
[INEZ]
We demand to be heard
[ENSEMBLE]
We demand to be heard
[INEZ]
We demand to be seen
[ENSEMBLE]
We demand to be seen
[INEZ]
We demand equality and nothing in between
[ENSEMBLE]
Equality
[INEZ]
We demand to be heard
[ENSEMBLE]
We demand to be heard
[INEZ]
We demand to be known
[ENSEMBLE]
We demand to be known
[INEZ]
We demand a voice of our own
[ENSEMBLE]
We demand an amendment
We demand an amendment
[INEZ]
We demand
[ENSEMBLE]
We demand an amendment
We demand an amendment
[ENSEMBLE]
I've never felt so alive
Before (I've never felt so alive) (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 about to change
I want to feel it change
[IDA]
We demand to be seen
[ENSEMBLE]
We demand to be seen
[IDA]
We demand to be heard
[ENSEMBLE]
We demand to be heard
[IDA]
We demand our dignity will never be deferred
[ENSEMBLE]
Our dignity
[IDA]
We demand to be seen
[ENSEMBLE]
We demand to be seen
[IDA]
We demand to be known
[ENSEMBLE]
We demand to be known
[IDA]
We demand a voice of our own
[ENSEMBLE]
We demand an amendment
We demand an amendment
We demand an amendment
[IDA]
We demand
[ENSEMBLE]
We demand an amendment
[IDA & ENSEMBLE]
We demand an amendment
[DORIS]
But then, a mob of sneering men storm the street
[IDA]
Oh, no
[ENSEMBLE]
Oh, no
[DORIS]
Retreat
[ENSEMBLE]
Retreat
Hundreds of hooligans
Spit and jeer
Grabbing my hair
Smacking my rear
Will we make it down the avenue in one piece?
[INEZ]
Where are the policemen?
[ENSEMBLE]
Where are the police?
[INEZ, spoken]
Follow me
[WOMAN, spoken]
Give 'em hell
[INEZ]
Get back
[ENSEMBLE]
Get back
[INEZ]
Make way
[ENSEMBLE]
Make way
[INEZ]
You're not stopping us today
[ENSEMBLE]
Not today
[INEZ]
Get back
[ENSEMBLE]
Get back
[INEZ]
Step aside
[ENSEMBLE]
Step aside
[INEZ]
Won't let you break our stride
[ENSEMBLE]
Let's push our way through the thoroughfare
Mr. President, hear our cry
Inch by inch, we'll make it there
Mr. President, hear our cry
[ALICE]
I want my mother to know I was here
[IDA]
I want my sisters to know I was here
[INEZ]
I want my great-granddaughter to know I was here
[ENSEMBLE]
I was here
[MARY]
I want my students to know
[MARY & ENSEMBLE]
I was here
[LUCY]
I want my niece to know
[LUCY & ENSEMBLE]
I was here
[ENSEMBLE]
I want your great-granddaughter to know I was here
I was here (I was here)
I was here (I was here)
I was here (I was here)
I want your great-granddaughter to know I was here
We demand to be heard
We demand to be seen
We demand equality and nothing in between
[A SUFF]
Equality
[ENSEMBLE]
We demand to be heard
[RUZA]
We demand
[ENSEMBLE]
We demand to be known
[MARY]
We demand to be known
[ENSEMBLE]
We demand a voice of our own
We demand to be heard
We demand to be seen
We demand equality now!
