Alice Paul Lyrics

Standing up for justice while the men were sitting down

Alice Paul could ill afford to blend in with the crowd

She was not the first to bring attention to the cause

Standing up for justice challenging the laws

1917 and marching off to war

Alice Paul would simply ask equal rights for all

Armed with just a banner with a vision to promote

Standing up for justice and the right to vote

Presidential pardon refused

Maybe Woodrow Wilson should try walking in their shoes

Hauled off to jail six or seven times

It only made her stronger to the cause of womankind

Right outside the White House they'd continue their crusade

Wilson hoped it all died down he sent them lemonade

1964 more legislative laws

Alice Paul was there again a credit to them all

A woman who kept fighting making women proud

Standing up for justice while the men were sitting down
