She was enchanting, 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 was 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 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 Joans burned at the stake? How many more of us will it take?
How long? How long? How long til it’s too late? 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, 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, we won’t wait, we won’t
We won’t wait We won’t wait We won’t
