Peace 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, REUBEN, and SERA]
Why should we calm down and listen? (Why can’t you see?) (We've peace, we've peace)
These words are
These thoughts are so naive (What could be)
(When will this cease?)
How can we pretend and just bеlieve?
(Try and see) (Let mеrcy reign)
There’s just no
No easy way that we can wipe away the past

[REBEKAH and JOAB]
And heal, heal our pain (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, REUBEN, and SERA/REBEKAH]
How could you (Hold on to reason)
Betray us
Take their side
Make light of all that’s been done?
(For peace, for peace)
Our people (The grace we might revive)
Have suffered
There’ll be no peace
Until we’ve won (When will this cease?)
Defectors and traitors! (There is no treason)
Why should we listen to their trash?
[REBEKAH and REBELS]
Let mercy reign (Your honeyed words will hold no sway!)

[SERA]
Rebekah stop!
Please come away!

[REBEKAH and REBELS]
And heal, heal our pain (No traitor shall be spared this day!)
