The Play That Change Our Lifes

Its Quiet Uptown

Zoee walk and stand in the left side
There are moments that the words don't reach
There is suffering too terrible to name
You hold your child as tight as you can
And push away the unimaginable
The moments when you're in so deep
It feels easier to just swim down

Zoe and everyone sing
The Hamiltons move uptown
And learn to live with the unimaginable

Jesus stand in the middle of the stage
I spend hours in the garden
I walk alone to the store
And it's quiet uptown
I never liked the quiet before
I take the children to church on Sunday
A sign of the cross at the door
And I pray
That never used to happen before

Zoee and all the girls walk around
If you see him in the street, walking by
Himself, talking to himself, have pity

Jesus sing
Philip, you would like it uptown
It's quiet uptown

Zoee and the girls walk away
He is working through the unimaginable

All the guys sing
His hair has gone grey. He passes every day
They say he walks the length of the city

Jesus cry out
You knock me out, I fall apart

Every one sing and Vanessa walk into the stage next to Jesus
Can you imagine?

Jesus look at Vanessa and sing
Look at where we are
Look at where we started
I know I don't deserve you, Eliza
But hear me out. That would be enough
If I could spare his life
If I could trade his life for mine
He'd be standing here right now
And you would smile, and that would be enough
I don't pretend to know
The challenges we're facing
I know there's no replacing what we've lost
And you need time
But I'm not afraid
I know who I married
Just let me stay here by your side
That would be enough

Everyone sing and Vanessa moved to right side. Jesus moved to the left side.
If you see him in the street, walking by her
Side, talking by her side, have pity

Jesus git closer to Vanessa and started to tear up
Eliza, do you like it uptown? It's quiet uptown

Everyone sing
He is trying to do the unimaginable
See them walking in the park, long after dark
Taking in the sights of the city

Jesus sing and looking at the left side
Look around, look around, Eliza

Everyone sing
They are trying to do the unimaginable

Zoee walk from the right side
There are moments that the words don't reach
There is a grace too powerful to name
We push away what we can never understand
We push away the unimaginable
They are standing in the garden
Alexander by Eliza's side
She takes his hand

Vanessa takes Jesus hand and sing
It's quiet uptown

Everyone sing
Forgiveness. Can you imagine?
Forgiveness. Can you imagine?
Vanessa put her chin on Jesus shoulder
If you see him in the street, walking by her
Side, talking by her side, have pity
They are going through the unimaginable

Vanessa and Jesus walk away
