No Voice

[NADIA]
Dear Jason
Who told you you could go and disappear?
Keep thinking, if I just wait a while
You'll be here
Can you hear me?
Can you show me
How to shoulder so much blame?
All you were, in scattered traces
Things will never be the same

[IVY]
Dear Jason
You can't begin to know
The pain you've caused
How do I make sense of
What I think
And what I've lost
What a mess
A perfect mess
Left alone to sort it out
In the sorrow, guilt, and rage
I keep coming back to doubt

[MATT]
Some words do not come easy
Words like I'm truly sorry
I cried the night I wrote them
I bet we all did
I guess I never knew him
But if he shared his struggle
There might have been a friendship
I would have liked that

[ENSEMBLE]
You alone, the Lord most holy
You alone the Lord most high
Hear us now, seal our hearts
And grant our prayers
We bear them in Your name
Leave us one with all done in Your name

[PETER]
Dear Jason
So scared the world would
Days crawl by
I'm left to wonder if
I could have shown you
That the world should not foresake you
That the world should love you well
You and I were meant to be
I wish I could made you see
That in you God was very please
One morning
I kissed a lonely boy
We both just knew
I loved him
I loved him very much
He loved me too
In a world that rushes judgment
I will try to understand
It's so hard to find your way
When you have no voice to guide you on

[ENSEMBLE]
No voice, no sound
No sound, no words
No words, no song
No song, no heart
One heart, one love
One love, one life
One life, one truth
One truth, one life
One voice

[FATHER MIKE, spoken]
I'm sorry, Peter

[PETER, spoken]
And I forgive you

I was asked to say a few words
I thought I should begin by telling you who I am
