Mourners 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 It's a day of peace. A day of pride. Sarah's Friend A day of pride... Mourners A day of justice We have been denied. Sarah's Friend It's been denied. Mourners Where a man can live, And a child can play. We'll never get to heaven Till we reach that day. Coalhouse What they did to her, What they took from her. She had life in her, Lord, she had my baby! Look what they left of her, Left of her, Left of my girl! Emma She was nothing To them, She was a woman. Coalhouse My girl... Emma and Mother Nothing and no one to them, Emma, Mother, and Coalhouse So they beat her And beat her and beat hear and... Mourners A day of peace... Coalhouse There was blood on the ground! Mourners A day of pride... Coalhouse, Emma, and Mother She was only a girl! Mourners A day of justice... Coalhouse, Emma, Mother's Younger Brother, Mother, and Father It will happen again! Mourners We have been denied... Coalhouse, Emma, Mother's Younger Brother, Mother, Father, Immigrants, People of Harlem It will happen again And again And again... Mourners Let the new day dawn, Oh, Lord... Tateh Why does nobody care? Mother's Younger Brother, Emma There is blood in the air! Women We have voices and souls! Coalhouse, Mother, Emma, Mother's Younger Brother What is wrong with this country? Immigrants She was somebody's child! Harlem Men There are Negroes out there! Immigrants, Blacks, Women, and Emma There are people out there! All Give the people 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.
