Crossing the Rubicon Written by  Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Somewhere in the madness of a long forgotten time Resurrect the pieces to the crime I'm searching for an answer that somehow could explain Why I feel this misery and pain But who am I to pretend The fault is mine in the end Sifting through the ashes for any alibis All I find is me in my disguise Father won't you help me, hallowed be thy name I confess I am the one to blame And though my life fades to black I know there's no turning back So as I cross the Rubicon I know I can't go on feeling this way And I can't be like Estragon A fool who's waiting on some better day When all my prayers are answered and all my sins absolved And all life's mysteries have been resolved Father won't you tell me, why life is such a sham And why I don't know who the hell I am And though I'm feeling estranged I must admit somehow I've changed So as I cross the Rubicon I know I'll ca...

Who Will Love This Child Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Frollo Who will love this child When others turn away Who will be there to sacrifice Turn darkness into light, and Wipe away the tears each time they fall. And who will love this child So lost and all alone Do we pretend we cannot see How desperately he needs The comfort and the peace that love can bring And if we close our hearts To the cry of a child in need Who will care For an orphan in the rain Who'll be there With comfort from the pain Lord on high Shine your light For I fear I cannot go Until at last I know Who will love this child And when the moment comes For someone to lend a hand Who will care For a child without a name Who'll be there When others whisper shame Lord on high Shine your light For I fear we all shall pay If no one here will say Who will love this child This child This child

By the Grace of God Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Frollo By the grace of God This could be you standing here today By the grace of God You could be blinded and lame Can't you see That all God's children Deserve dignity And don't you know Without a word You could lose all control No guarantees to your master plan The powers in his hand Your world could be crushed with his nod But for the grace of God May the Lamb of God Forgive these sins you commit today May the Lamb of God Find you repentant and shamed King of fools In heaven's name how could you be so cruel Can't you see He had no voice in his deformity Can you predict with certainty The way that things will be When life's but a worthless façade But for the grace of God

Ave Maria Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Frollo What can I do Never before have I been untrue I've given my life No family or friends no children no wife I've asked no reward Just the work of our Lord Where can I go With every breath I fear for my soul God how I've tried To keep these passions locked up inside But now I confess To these sins of the flesh Esmerelda that gypsy that temptress has stolen my heart Here in a world where it's hard to believe A spell has been cast over me Tell me what can I do Ave Maria Pray for me in my moment of need Ave Maria How I hope tonight that you'll send your guiding light to me Quasimodo Look at this face All that I've known is fear and disgrace I yearn for love Mother of God look down from above And give me the words that speak only to her For all of my life I've been consumed By anger and spite Could you not see How the whole world reacted to me I pity the child Who has been so reviled But the m...

Beneath The Moon Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Quasimodo Marie if I whisper this secret to you Do you swear before God to be honest and true And never tell a living soul You see something so wonderful's happened to me It's hard to explain but I'm finally free Don't wake me if this is a dream I desperately need to believe For never before have I felt so alive To hell with this hump and this hideous eye My heart's taken wing And I can finally sing Now that water's been given to me ...
