The names of the girls who laid the stones Names long forgotten- never scribbled in tomes They were strong and indestructible Their hearts were full Here in the dark Everything that once was becomes a tiny spark Looking back from the next century What will they see? Womenkind! womenfolk! we’re not wheels without spokes let them vote, let them vote Let them vote! I am telling you this is a war measure We can’t win the Great War without this treasure The women of our country fair have beating hearts and dirt in their hair We gotta show them that we trust them as much as we need them now Do it now!Ĭarrie- I see you standing on the precipice I begging of you, keep fighting for true justice and you’ll find the the laws of the land will soon be in your favor We need you in our vision of affairs- your skills are beyond all compare You got sympathy and insight- your shoulders bear the weight of the world
If they pass this amendment to our constitution We are gonna be talking about revolution It’s over there. The services of women during this crisis Must be repaid- lead ya to paradise it’s Over thereĬarrie- as for this country I only hope That the senate will give an answer, Unmistakably making you able to use your voice and cast a ballot Oh America look up the star is getting nearer It’s time to shout aloud to everybody who can hear us The woman’s hour has struck the woman’s hour is now The woman’s hour is hereĬarrie- I got your missive and I’m with you girl I welcome the opportunity to say that I agree: The time is nigh for your admission to the suffrage There was a man in west virginia and someone asked him what he thought he said “we’ve been keeping women down so long it would feel so queer to not” if someone asked his wife the same question and here is what she’d say “we’ve been down so long we gotta stay this way” therein lies the movement of those who say NAY Oh America look up at that north star- one day it’ll come down the time has come to shout aloud in every city and village and town the woman’s hour has struck the woman’s hour is now
‘Cause if we fail to act upon it It might mean the chance has been lost and we will have to wait to win You may be troubled and bewildered and stricken with grief But you can solve it! Fix these knotty problems! Try to breathe. It’s 1916, we’re talking war and battle cries Oh women dry your eyes- gotta rise up and fight Gather round, girls, lemme tell you about the crisis that is here And at the end I almost see I see our final victory I know that we don’t all believe that it’ll be what it’ll be But a crisis ‘tis indeed, like a boulder gath’ring speedĪnd if we fail to act upon it It might mean the chance has been lost and we will have to wait to win
