He Wanted to Say Original Broadway Cast of Ragtime: The Musical (Ft. Brian Stokes Mitchell, Judy Kaye & Steven Sutcliffe)

[YOUNGER BROTHER, spoken]
I... I... I want to... I know that if...

[EMMA GOLDMAN]
He wanted to say
I am here because I have to be
He wanted to say
I am here for what is right
Every day I wake up knowing
What you've lost and what is owing
I would shed this skin if I could
To stand with you and fight

He wanted to say

[YOUNGER BROTHER]
I am not who I appear to be

[EMMA GOLDMAN]
He wanted to say

[YOUNGER BROTHER]
Do not blame me for my past

[EMMA GOLDMAN & YOUNGER BROTHER]
We have different lives and faces
But our hearts have common places
This was deep inside me
And you helped me find it at last
