The Night that Goldman Spoke at Union Square - Musical Cast Recording[00:00:00]

I have just arrived from Lawrence Massachusetts where [00:00:06]

Eight weeks ago the workers there went on strike They are[00:00:09]

Starving their children are dying but they are holding firm[00:00:12]

And we must support them [00:00:16]

It was winter in New York[00:00:21]

As the snow began to fall [00:00:23]

And the workmen's hall had not a seat to spare [00:00:25]

When a young man stepped inside [00:00:30]

Just to warm himself was all [00:00:32]

The night that Goldman spoke at Union Square [00:00:34]

What is happening in Lawrence is happening everywhere [00:00:40]

Let us at last make this the land of opportunity for[00:00:41]

All people not just the owners The land of opportunity[00:00:42]

For Tateh and his little girl We cannot rest [00:00:44]

She was speaking loud and fast[00:00:47]

Through a haze of noise and heat[00:00:49]

And the smell of sweat and anger in the air [00:00:51]

The police were standing by[00:00:56]

But the crowd was on it's feet[00:00:58]

The night that Goldman spoke at Union Square [00:01:00]

You [00:01:08]

He thought he heard her say [00:01:09]

What brings you here today [00:01:11]

Poor young rich boy [00:01:12]

Masturbates for a Vaudeville tart [00:01:13]

What a waste of a fiery heart [00:01:14]

Dear [00:01:15]

He thought she said [00:01:15]

Poor young bourgeois [00:01:16]

There are things that you've never thought [00:01:17]

Come to Emma and you'll be taught[00:01:18]

Here [00:01:19]

His head was spinning [00:01:20]

People feathered and tarred my friend [00:01:21]

Unions broken and why for [00:01:22]

Children laboring women still enslaved [00:01:23]

Leave you little backyard my friend [00:01:25]

There are causes to die for [00:01:26]

Strike [00:01:28]

In the gutters of the city[00:01:28]

I have tried to find some meaning [00:01:28]

Strike [00:01:28]

In the arms of fallen women [00:01:28]

In the thought of suicide [00:01:29]

Strike [00:01:30]

Like a firework unexploded [00:01:30]

Wanting life but never[00:01:30]

Knowing how [00:01:30]

My brother [00:01:31]

Life had meaning[00:01:31]

Strike [00:01:32]

I'll show you how [00:01:32]

Till now [00:01:33]

My brother you are[00:01:33]

With us now [00:01:34]

He was calling out her name [00:01:36]

Shouting what he did not know[00:01:38]

And he found that he was standing on a chair[00:01:40]

With a heart as clean and new[00:01:45]

As the frshly fallen snow [00:01:47]

The night that Goldman spoke [00:01:50]

I've been waiting for you [00:01:53]

At Union Square [00:01:56]

Strike Strike Strike Strike[00:02:00]
