Cast of Bare: A Pop Opera - Cross lyrics

JASON I know it's late, but I didn't know where else to go PRIEST 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 Go on... JASON Still I recall the peace that would fall When I believed you could forgive me 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 Well, 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 ok, not for me Do you know what I'm... PRIEST -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 Can I please see your face? I'm in such a desperate place What do I do now? Tell me, tell me! PRIEST 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 Focus on your graduation JASON Is it ok...? PRIEST -Keep your mind on other matters JASON Am I ok? Please, answer me! PRIEST -Pray for courage, pray for... JASON Why are you dancing? PRIEST You know what I'll say JASON Why won't you answer? PRIEST You know what I'll say JASON 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...
