[00:00.000] 作词 : Shaina Taub
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Shaina Taub
[00:49.945]She was impatient, magnetic, unapologetic
[00:53.962]It was almost annoying how easily she seemed to shine
[00:59.082]You could hide nothing from her
[01:01.717]She read you like a book
[01:04.626]She’d have been wrecked by the results of this election
[01:08.647]But she’d have poured us a drink
[01:10.746]And reminded us not to lose hope
[01:14.361]She knew her smile was all that it took
[01:19.757]The last thing she said is the question we’re now asking
[01:24.746]Over and over
[01:27.180]As we look back
[01:30.034]As we look forward
[01:34.143]How long
[01:40.701]Must women wait for liberty
[01:44.795]How long
[01:51.978]Must we wait
[01:53.838]Must we wait
[01:55.471]Must we wait
[01:59.563]She went into trial, a laugh on her lips
[02:04.102]She once told me discouragement only excited her
[02:09.362]So brilliant a speaker we can’t afford to lose
[02:13.897]She belonged to life
[02:16.562]To the struggling actuality of the earth
[02:21.407]I used to wish I could be in her shoes
[02:27.057]With her voice ringing out
[02:29.360]The centuries seemed like repetitions
[02:33.554]Of an ancient song
[02:37.348]Singing how long
[02:43.971]Must women wait for liberty
[02:48.039]How long
[02:54.908]Must we wait
[02:56.695]Must we wait
[02:58.473]Must we wait
[03:02.303]How many more marches in the streets
[03:05.704]How many more efforts gone to waste
[03:09.276]How many more deafening defeats
[03:12.968]How many more histories erased
[03:16.802]How many more dignities deferred
[03:20.529]How many more told to know our place
[03:24.092]How many more girls will go unheard
[03:27.666]How many more doors shut in our face
[03:31.252]How many more Joans burned at the stake
[03:34.760]How many more of us will it take
[03:38.555]How long
[03:45.815]How long
[03:52.380]Til it’s too late
[03:54.240]Will we wait
[03:55.560](Ensemble: Alice, what do we do now?)
[03:57.781]Will we wait
[03:59.167](Alice: Meet me at the White House gates at dawn)
[04:01.260]Will we wait
[04:03.229]Will we wait
[04:08.258]We won’t wait another day
[04:11.118]We won’t wait another day
[04:14.500]We won’t wait another day
[04:17.651]We won’t wait, we won’t wait, we won’t
[04:21.369]We won’t wait another day
[04:24.562]We won’t wait another day
[04:27.814]We won’t wait another day
[04:31.222]We won’t wait, we won’t wait, we won’t
[04:34.493]We won’t wait
[04:35.876]We won’t wait
[04:37.158]We won’t
[04:37.873]We won’t wait
[04:38.999]We won’t wait
[04:40.211]We won’t wait
