Cross

[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...
