The musical Ragtime takes place near the very beginning of the 20th century, a time where it isn’t very fun to be black in America. This is the song the fictional African-American ragtime pianist Coalhouse Walker Jr. sings after his sweetheart Sarah is killed in a horrible misunderstanding.

Coalhouse’s Soliloquy Lyrics
[COALHOUSE]
Say goodbye to music
Say goodbye to light
Anything I cared for
Take it from my sight
Let me see no future
Let me hear no sound
Only darkness and pain
The anger and pain
The blood and the pain
They buried my heart in the ground
In the ground
When they buried you in the ground
I see your face
And we will ride
On the wheels of a new dream
Sarah
A new time, Sarah
Now I'll
Play them the music of something beginning
An era exploding
A century spinning
My law
And my justice
In rhythm and rhyme
Listen to that ragtime!
*Three gunshots*
