Absolution - Cast Recording

People come to the church at times like these,

For answers,

But, I have none.

Most words fall empty,

But I’ll try.

It’s a horrible thing that no-one should have to go through:

Losing… a friend,

At such a young age.

But you know,

You should know,

That he’s in a better place.

We’ll always ask ourselves,

If there was something more that could have been done,

It’s natural.

PETER: Do you ask yourself that, Father?

FATHER: Me?

He went to you for guidance,

You hid behind a screen,

Knowing how much empathy might mean.

Did you know how much he loved?

Did you know how much he cared?

Lost in the teachings was a boy,

So all alone and scared.

Father, we were so in love,

And that’s what I find so odd:

Our love was pure,

And nothing else brought me closer to God.

FATHER: I’m sorry, Peter.

PETER: And I forgive you, Father.
