If You Had Seen Inez (feat. Jen Allen-Zito)

If you had seen Inez, riding on her white horse
If you had seen Inez, So beautiful and proud
Perhaps you’d understand, And feel what I feel
We would have walked through fire, If you had seen Inez
If you had seen Inez, Starry crown, so like a queen
Her blue cloak wrapped around her, I see her in my dreams
We marched shoulder to shoulder, Our banner flying high
Inez would ride before us, How I would smile when she went by
«Votes for Women» she would cry
«Votes for Women» we replied
How our hearts were filled with pride
I still cannot believe she died
If you had seen Inez, Her lovely body gaunt and pale
If you had seen her struggle, To speak, to say, again, «We cannot fail»,
Then she crumpled like a white rose, Like petals soft and scattered,
Perhaps you’d understand our sorrow, To carry on was all that mattered
If you had seen Inez. If you had seen Inez
