Friar
Love can bring you to madness

Romeo
But what man would settle for less?

Friar
God is where my heart lies

Juliet
All of love lives in his eyes

Friar
Love's a joy that you suffer

Romeo
What's the use of life without her?

Friar
Love's a sea that drowns you

Juliet
Love's the hope that has found you

Romeo
Love is her, in her splendor
And I'll make our lives a wonder
With your help

Juliet
Bind our names as one

Both
Let whatever will come
Come for love

Friar
Love's a tempest inside us

Juliet
Love's the north star that guides us

Romeo
In the night, it calls us

Both
Love's the flame of life in all of us

Friar
One that fades

Romeo
Your heart belongs to God
Mine belongs to Juliet
If loving has its price
Tell me, Friar, my debt!
I ask you, father, please

Both
On my knees I implore
To marry us today
Put an end to this war

It's time now to decide
What you're going to do
Like lambs among the wolves
Our time is nearly through

Romeo
I long so much to lie
With Juliet as my bride
And hear the sweet lark's song
In the dark by my side

Both
Please, we need you

The Friar hesitates, then beckons him to the altar. Romeo comes and kneels; the Friar gives him communion.

Chorus
For in love, you gain ever
In its moment, forever
Beyond life
If our God above
Grant us what we've dreamed of
Love will be

Friar, Romeo, Juliet
Let it be...!

Reprise

Friar
If through love, there is true life
Then there's hope for a new life
Oh, Lord command
We can change our fate
Break the chains of hate, and
We'll be free...
