Elizabeth Stanley Original Broadway Cast - Forgiven Lyrics

You know how us catholic girls can be
I, I
We make up for so much time a little too late

I never forgot it, confusing as it was
No fun with no guilt feelings
The sinners, the saviors, the lover-less priests
I'll see you next sunday

I sang alleluia in the choir

Oh, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia

I confessed my darkest deeds

To an envious man

My brothers (no)
They never (no)
Went blind for what they did
But I may as well have (i)
In the name of (oh)
The father (oh)
The skeptic and the son
I have one more (one more)
Stupid question (sinner)
I have my reasons to be here (witch)
I still have a thing or two to learn (whore)
I still need something to cling to (ooh)
So I will (you will)

What I learned I rejected

But I believe again

I will suffer the consequence

Of this inquisition

If I jump in this fountain

Will I be forgiven (forgiven)

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

We all had our reasons to be there
We all have a thing or two to learn
We all need something to cling to
So we did

So we did (so we did)
We all have delusions in our head
We all have our minds made up for us
We have to believe in something

So I will (so I will)

We all had our reasons to be there

We all had our pain to learn

We all needed something to cling to
So we did

We all had our reasons to be here (so we did)
We all had a thing or two to learn
We all needed something to cling to
So we did

Amen
