Nurse
Things never go the way
One would want them to
Juliet, now you know
What I already knew
Oh, if only I could ease your pain
To console you, to explain
Oh, God up on high
Can you tell us why
This world is so cruel
And so cold inside?
Then
Show us some small sign
This is part of your design
God, why must we live our lives in fear?
Whom do we call if you're not here?
Must we stand by
And watch our men die?
Friar
The Prince has saved your life
In sending you away
They'd have bled Verona dry
If you'd have been allowed to stay
Then take heart, my son
It's not the end
We'll find some other way, oh
God up on high
Can you tell us why
This world is so cruel
And so cold inside?
Then
Show us some small sign
This is part of your design
Both
God, we've placed our lives into your care
To you we call, but you're not there
And you stand by
And watch our men die
Chorus
God up on high
Can you tell us why
This world is so cruel
And so cold inside?
Then
Show us some small sign
This is part of your design
God, why must we live our lives in fear?
Whom do we call if you're not here?
Must we stand by
And watch our men die?
God up on high (Nurse: God, how the world's so wrong)
Can you tell us why (Romeo: How did things go wrong?)
This world is so cruel (Nurse: How this world's so cruel)
And so cold inside? (Romeo & Benvolio: How did things go wrong?)
Then
Show us some small sign (Nurse & Juliette: How the world is wrong, oh)
This is part of your design
All
God, we've placed our lives into your care
To you we call, but you're not there
And you stand by and watch our men die
God...
