[mourners]
oh, oh
oh, oh
oh, oh, oh

[sarah’s friend]
there’s a day of hope
may i live to see
when our hearts are happy
and our souls are free
let the new day dawn
oh, lord, i pray
we’ll never get to heaven
till we reach that day

[mourners, sarah’s friend]
it’s a day of peace (ooh)
a day of pride (day of pride)
a day of justice (ooh)
we have been denied
when a man can live (when a man can live)
and a child can play

[sarah’s friend & mourners]
we’ll never get to heaven
till we reach that day
[coalhouse]
what they did to her
what thеy took from her
she had life in hеr
lord, she had my baby
look what they left of her
left of her, left of my girl

[emma goldman]
she was nothing to them
she was a woman

[coalhouse]
my girl

[mother]
nothing and no one to them

[emma goldman, mother & coalhouse]
so they beat her
and beat her and beat her and—

[mourners]
a day of peace

[coalhouse]
there was blood on the ground
[mourners]
a day of pride

[coalhouse, emma goldman & mother]
she was only a girl

[mourners]
a day of justice

[coalhouse, emma, younger brother, mother & father]
it will happen again

[mourners]
we have been denied

[coalhouse, emma, younger brother, mother, father, other immigrants & blacks]
it will happen again and again and again

[mourners]
let the new day dawn

[coalhouse, emma, younger brother, mother, father, other immigrants & blacks]
we are nothing to them

[mourners]
oh, lord, i pray
[tateh]
we must not turn away

[mother]
i will not turn away

[mother & tateh]
what is wrong with this country?

[coalhouse]
they k!lled my girl!

[mother & tateh]
she was frightened and young
she had a baby

[all]
yes!

[coalhouse’s future gang members]
there are negroes out there

[younger brother & emma goldman]
there is blood in the air

[coalhouse]
she meant something to me

[women]
we have voices and souls

[immigrants]
she was somebody’s child

[mother & tateh]
there are people out there

[immigrants, harlem residents, women & emma]
there are people out there

[more people]
give the people

[all]
a day of peace
a day of pride
a day of justice
we have been denied
let the new day dawn
oh, lord, i pray
we’ll never get to heaven
till we reach that day
