Violet the Musical - Down The Mountain Lyrics
VIOLET: (spoken)
I came to talk to the Preacher
VIRGIL: (spoken)
Nobody talks to him unless they talk to me first
VIOLET: (spoken)
You're so young. I need his blessing
VIRGIL: (spoken)
Not to worry, ma'am. We'll get you taken care of in a jiffy
YOUNG VI: (spoken)
Papa, careful
FATHER:
Easy does it
Hold on, baby, there we are –
YOUNG VI: (spoken)
How far?
FATHER:
We're halfway down by now
We'll get you taken care of, somehow
VIOLET: (spoken)
I have something to show him
FATHER:
God Almighty, show your mercy
VIRGIL: (spoken)
Perhaps you could show me first
FATHER:
God Almighty, please forgive me…
VIOLET: (spoken)
Okay, but only if you take me to him after.
Here's what I need. I've written it all down. My name.
My one desire. All the Bible verses which must speak for me.
FATHER:
God Almighty, show your mercy
God Almighty, please forgive me…
YOUNG VI: (spoken)
There's the river
FATHER:
We can cross it
This might hurt you, be prepared –
YOUNG VI: (spoken)
I'm scared!
FATHER:
I know, but don't you fret
We'll get you taken care of, yet
VIRGIL: (spoken)
My child, we must pray for your spirit
FATHER:
Don't you fret…
VIOLET: (spoken)
Never mind my spirit
FATHER:
God forgive
VIRGIL: (spoken)
All suffering has a purpose
VIOLET: (spoken)
Maybe that's true, but it doesn't make it right!
FATHER:
There's the doctor's –
VIRGIL: (spoken)
Kneel with me. Lord, help us to remember that you have a purpose in all things.
With me today is – what was your name again, sister?
Hey. Hey, you come back here! Call security! We got a scrambler.
FATHER:
There's a light on
Hold on, baby, almost there –
Thank heaven for that moon
We'll get you taken care of soon
VIOLET: (spoken)
Hello? Mr. Preacher? Anybody?
