Funeral Sequence: There is a Fountain / It Don’t Make Sense Lyrics by Jake Pedersen, Parade Cast
Parade (2023 Broadway Cast Recording)
2023
[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 benath that flood Lose all their guilty stains [FRANKIE] God forgive me what I think God forgive me what I wish right now [BRITT CRAIG, spoken] You must've known Mary pretty well [FRANKIE, spoken] Yessir, I did [CRAIG, spoken] This must be a mighty hard day for you [FRANKIE, sung] 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 V.F.W 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 it don't make sense to me at all [MOURNERS] Dear dying lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose it's pow'r [CHILDREN] She had two crooked teeth She had cuts on her fingers She worked next to me last summer Once a week, we used to play And she knew how to read She would smile at the foreman [ALL] And I can't believe they took my friend away [MOURNERS & CHILDREN, FRANKIE] No, it don't make sense to me That she will not be there When she laughed, you swore you'd No, it don't make sense to me Never cry again [MRS. PHAGAN] She loved when I tied ribbons in her hair [ALL] And no, it don't make sense The way the sun can still burn down No, it don't make sense to me [FRANKIE] God forgive me what I think [CRAIG, spoken] Tell me, son, 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 git away with what he done to Mary! Let him quiver in his boots! Let him runs until he bleeds! I won't rest until I know He's burning in the ragin' fires of hell forevermore! [MOURNERS, FRANKIE] There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins (God forgive me what I think) And sinners plunged Beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains (God forgive me what I wish right now)
