Anika Noni Rose - Epilogue Lyrics

[THE MOON]
Mornin, morning in the air
Silver sparkle on the green
World awaken to prepare
For the consequence unforeseen

[EMMIE]
Just one last thing left unsaid
Who was there when that statue fell?
Who knows where they put his head?
That old copper nightmare man?
Who can say what happened that night at the courthouse?
I can

I was there that night
I saw
I watched it topple like a tree
We were scared to death to break the law!
Scared wе'd fail, scared of jail
But still we stayed

And I said
"Statuе, statue, you are through"
Statue answer, "Well, who are you?"
I say, "Evil, you got to go!"
Evil answer, '"Who says so?"
I say
"Emmie
Emmie Thibodeaux!
"I'm the daughter of a maid
In her uniform, crisp and clean
Nothing can ever make me afraid!
You can't hold on, you nightmare men
Your time is past, now on your way
Get gone and never come again!
For change come fast and change come slow
But everything changes!
And you got to go!
Shout, shout
Devil on out!"

[JACKIE & JOE]
Shh!
Mama sleepin', she work all day
Don't wake Mama, let her sleep

[JACKIE & JOE, EMMIE]
Let her dream 'til the morning come (I'm the daughter of a maid)
She been workin' hard

[EMMIE]
She stands alone where the harsh winds blow
Salting the earth so nothing grow
Too close, but still her strong blood flow
Under ground through hidden veins
Down from storm clouds when it rains
Down the plains, down the high plateaus
Down to the Gulf of Mexico
Down to Larry and Emmie and Jackie and Joe
The children of Caroline Thibodeaux
