Peace by Original Studio Cast of Angels the Musical Lyrics

[REBEKAH]
Don’t let your hearts be hardened
Though all our hopes should fail
May minor faults be pardoned
Forgiving souls prevail

[SERA]
Who cares now why it started?
This fight it rages still
How many must be parted
How many lost until
We’ve peace?

[JOAB]
Why should we calm down and listen?

[REUBEN]
(Why can’t you see?)

[JOAB]
These words are
These thoughts are so naive
[SERA]
(We’ve peace, we’ve peace)

[REUBEN]
(What could be)

[SERA]
(When will this cease?)

[JOAB]
How can we pretend and just bеlieve?

[REUBEN]
(Try and see)

[SERA]
(Let mеrcy reign)

[JOAB]
There’s just no
No easy way that we can wipe away the past

[REBEKAH]
(And heal, heal our pain)

[JOAB]
I can’t see past
[SERA]
When will you fathom right from wrong?

[REUBEN]
(We need to listen to their case)

[REBEKAH]
The shadows here grow ever long

[JOAB]
(Too many hurts we can’t erase)

[SERA]
What light could penetrate this gloom?

[REBEKAH]
Save us from our doom?

[REBEKAH AND SERA]
Will ever there be room?

[REBELS]
How could you

[REUBEN]
(Hold on to reason)
[REBELS]
Betray us
Take their side
Make light of all that’s been done?

[REBEKAH AND SERA]
(For peace, for peace)

[REBELS]
Our people

[REUBEN]
(The grace we might revive)

[REBELS]
Have suffered
There’ll be no peace
Until we’ve won

[REBELS]
Defectors and traitors!

[REUBEN]
(There is no treason)

[REBEKAH AND SERA]
(When will this cease?)

[REBELS]
Why should we listen to their trash?

[REBEKAH]
(Let mercy reign)

[REBELS]
Your honeyed words will hold no sway!

[SERA]
Rebekah stop!
Please come away!

[REBEKAH]
(And heal, heal our pain)

[REBELS]
No traitor shall be spared this day!
