ALEXANDER
SEARCHING FOR THE WORDS
FOR HEALING
SWALLOWED BY A HOPELESS
FEELING
WHAT'S THE USE OF PRAYER?
YOU'RE SILENT.
THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT?
TO BREAK ME.
THIS IS WHAT YOU GIVE?
FORSAKE ME.
THIS IS WHO YOU MADE.
SO TAKE ME
I LOOK ABOVE
AND FIND A HOLLOW SPACE
YOU STEAL A LIFE
YET SAY I MUST BELIEVE IN GRACE.
(A silhouette of JOHN JR.)
NOTHING LEFT TO DO
BUT GIVE IN
OH
GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH
GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH
WHAT'S THE USE OF HALLELUJAH?
GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH
ALL THE ENDLESS WORDS
THEY'RE NUMBING
(A silhouette of SARAH, holding her hand to her head.)
WHO WILL SEE THE LIGHT
IT'S COMING
WATCH THE NUMBER RISE
DAY BY DAY
IF I SAY THE WORDS
YOU'LL SAVE THEM?
IF I SAY THEM LOUD
YOU'LL SAVE US?
(A silhouette of ANN holding her son. She wipes his forehead and then starts to cough herself. The silhouettes fade away.)
IF I TRY AGAIN
YOU'LL SAVE ME?
WHAT CAN I DO
OH GOD, I'M JUST ONE MAN.
BUT IS THAT TRUE
BACK HOME I HAVE MY SON, MY ANN.
SING
GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH
GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH
NOW I HEAR THE HALLELUJAH
GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH
I SEE NOW
NOW I SEE
ALL
GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH
SING GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH
GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH
GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH
GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH
HALLELUJAH
(Fade to black.)
