Hold Me, Bat Boy (Reprise) lyrics

[SHELLEY]
In a cave many miles to the south
Lived a boy born with fangs in his mouth
He never knew what he was worth
I could not stop his fall
But in his precious hours on Earth, he taught us all

[MAGGIE]
Love your neighbor

[RICK TAYLOR]
Forgive

[INSTITUTE MAN]
Keep your vows

[BUD AND NED]
And a mountain's no place to raise cows

[SHERIFF]
Revenge is something God forbids

[BUD]
To scapegoat folks is wrong

[RICK, RON AND RUTHIE TAYLOR]
And don't kill Mrs. Taylor's kids
[MEREDITH]
Let go the fears to which you cling

[MEREDITH AND DR. PARKER]
And through your tears you'll hear him sing

[MEREDITH, DR. PARKER, AND SHELLEY]
Lift up your ears and join his song!

[ENSEMBLE]
And join his song!
And join his song!
And join his song!

[ALL]
Aaaaah!
Hold your Bat Boy, touch your Bat Boy
No more need to hide!
Know your Bat Boy, love your Bat Boy
Don't deny your beast inside!
Aaaaa! Aaaaa! Aaaaaaaaaaah!
