Cross

Lyrics

[JASON, spoken] I know it's late I didn't know where else to go [PRIEST, spoken] You know you can always come here Begin [JASON] These are my sins, but where to begin? I don't know if I have it in me, in me [PRIEST, spoken] Go on [JASON] Still I recall the peace that would fall When I believed that You could forgive me (spoken) I don't know where to start Yes, I do It's a start and a finish God, it's the root of everything [PRIEST] I'm here to listen, here to understand you Tell me what lies in your heart And in the telling, you'll find the peace you're seeking You'll know the way once you start [JASON] I've tried to be strong, I've tried to belong But I don't, or I won't, I can't, I can't Such a simple little word, never spoken, always heard It's not something I can be It's not okay, not for me Do you know what I'm— [PRIEST, spoken] Yes [JASON] What do I do? [PRIEST] I know you're frightened, know I understand that But there's only so much I would say I can't live for you, but know that God is with you Through Him, you will find a way [JASON, PRIEST] Can I please see your face? I'm in such a desperate place What do I do now? Tell me, tell me! (Child, if I only could) [JASON] I don't belong I've always thought this was wrong If they knew, my parents would die They would die! [PRIEST] So keep it quiet I will hold your secret You know that it's safe to confide You're just a child and things can change, I promise You're young, you have time on your side [PRIEST, JASON] Focus on your graduation Is it ok? Keep your mind on other matters Am I ok? Please, answer me! Pray for courage, pray for— Why are you dancing? (You know what I'll say) Why won't you answer? (You know what I'll say) Why won't you tell me? God! [PRIEST] No! You know in your heart that the teaching is clear Faith in the Father has led your soul here Bear up the cross, let the Church be your spine Don't question too much And you'll get along fine Whatever you have done I know God will forgive Live in His Word He will always forgive Go now, in the Spirit and live...
