Parade the Musical - There is a Fountain/ It Don't Make Sense Lyrics
MOURNERS:
There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel's veins
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains,
Lose all their guilty stains,
Lose all their guilty stains,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.
FRANKIE:
God forgive me what I think.
God forgive me what I wish right now.
CRAIG:
Well, you must've known Mary pretty well.
FRANKIE:
Yessir, I did.
CRAIG:
Then this must be a mighty hard day for you.
FRANKIE:
Did you ever hear her laugh?
When she laughed
You swore you'd never cry again.
Did you ever see her smile?
Her smile was like a glass of lemonade.
And she said funny things,
And she wore pretty dresses,
And she liked to see the pictures at the VFW Hall,
And she loved ridin' swings,
And she liked cotton candy,
But I think she liked the pictures best of all
No, it don't make sense to me
That she won't be around.
No, it don't make sense to me
To put her in the cold and lonely ground.
And no, it don't make sense
The way the world can let you fall---
I swear if don't make sense to me at all.
MOURNERS:
Dear dying Lamb,
Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its pow'r
GIRL:
She had two crooked teeth
KID:
She had cuts on her fingers
SECOND GIRL:
She worked next to me last summer
THIRD GIRL:
Once a week we used to play
SECOND GIRL:
And she knew how to read
GIRL:
She would smile at the foreman
CHILDREN:
And I can't believe they took my friend away
MOURNERS & CHILDREN:
No, it don't make sense to me|
That she will not be there
No, it don't make sense to me.
FRANKIE:
When she laughed,
you swore you'd never cry again.
A MOTHER:
She loved when I tied ribbons in her hair
ALL:
And no, it don't make sense,
They way the sun can still burn down.
No, it don't make sense to me
FRANKIE:
God forgive me what I think.
CRAIG:
Tell me, son, you got any idea who it was?
FRANKIE:
God forgive me what I wish right now.
I don't know the coward's name.
I don't know the bastard's face.
But I swear right now to God
He ain't never gonna get away
With what he done to Mary!
Let him quiver in his boots!
Let him run until he bleeds!
I won't rest until I know
Hes's burning in the ragin' fires
of Hell forevermore!
MOURNERS:
There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel's veins
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.
FRANKIE:
God forgive me what I think.
God forgive me what I wish right now
