He Wanted to Say

YOUNGER BROTHER (spoken):
I...I...I want to...I know that if...
EMMA GOLDMAN:
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 and 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 and 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 and MEN:
But all he said was:
YOUNGER BROTHER (spoken):
I know how to blow things up
EMMA and COALHOUSE'S MEN:
Two men meeting
For a moment
In the darkness
For a moment
In the darkness
