JACOB:

If you fall down on your knees

and go so far as to cry

Hallelujah

then I will have to turn you

away, for there is no place

for you here, now.

-

CHORUS:

If it’s the last thing you do

hide your face—

if it’s the last thing you do,

hide your faith.

For deity’s sake,

hide your faith.

-

JACOB:

If you kneel at the altar

and lay your hands upon the

symbol of faith

then I will have nothing left

to hold or to remember

you—you—you by.

-

CHORUS:

If it’s the only thing you do

hide your grace—

if it’s the only thing you do

hide your faith,

for only my sake,

hide your faith.

-

SONJA:

I don’t know if I could

stay with you in times like

these—

but then I know I would

when you stop to look at me,

please

remember me

when all this life’s gone by.

When all this life’s gone by

tell me at the end

what you remember most—

was it my eyes?

Or satin skies?

Or at the end did you

remember anything at all?

Was I in your thoughts

during the long fall?

Will it be soon enough

when I’m gone?

-

ALL:

If it’s the last thing (you/I’ll) do

hide (your/my) face—

if it’s the last thing (you/I’ll) do,

hide (your/my) faith.

For deity’s sake,

hide (your/my) faith.

-

SONJA:

I have nothing left to hold or to remember you by.
