100 Years
by Andrea Menard, Robert Walsh, and Lee Kozak
Feb 2004

I, for one, have awakened
From the sleep that stole a hundred years
I’ve been given this heart and voice
A sense of history and choice
But I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do

I can’t abide political horseplay
My eyes glaze over in retreat
That’s not my field - I sing
I’m an actor who plays, and I sing..lalala

Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen
I am rising
I am awakening.

Maybe my voice won’t move a mountain (If for a moment I could make you feel)
But what if it could move a single heart? (Then the role I play is real)
I hear Louis whispering my name (Wake up, my girl)
He fanned a spark into a flame
We won’t wait another hundred years, we will hear (on vous entant)

Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen
We are rising,
We are awakening

What would you have me do?
Would you have me shout from the trees?
Or roll up my sleeves? Or beg on my hands and knees to ….

Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen
We are rising,
We are awakening
