altar boyz (2005 original off-broadway cast) - epiphany lyrics

[intro]
i look into your eyes and i see the pain you hold inside
aren’t you tired of the lies you tell so you can hide
i look into your eyes and i see the pain you hold inside
aren’t you tired of the lies you tell so you can hide
(what if my friends don’t accept me)
i know
(what if my parents reject me)
i know
but you won’t truly be you
until you can say

[chorus]
i, am, a catholic
that’s me, i believe in the holy trinity
(one, two, three)
shout it out and make them hear your voice
your posse might not think it’s dope
to confess your sins, and like the pope
but this is who you are, it’s not a choice
(not a choice)

[verse 1]
you say you’re sleeping in
when you’re going out, to m-ss
you cut school on ash wednesday
so n-body will ask
your rosaries hid in your sock drawer
(oh no)
you sneak into church through the back door
(oh no)
time to break out and break free
and finally say

[chorus]
i am catholic
and i’m proud
sing it strong, sing it loud
i won’t deny who god meant me to be
every night you kneel and pray
stand up and be counted today
out of the cloisters, and into the streets
(into the streets)

[verse 2]
we are your teachers
and your doctors
and your burger king cashiers
we’re your receptionist
and your interns
and your amtrack engineers
we are your lawyers
and your tour guides
and don’t forget your actors on tv
(we are your parents)
we are your parents!
(and your brothers)
we are your brothers!
(and your children)
and me!

[chorus]
i am a catholic
yes i am!
long live the vatican
god doesn’t make mistakes and he made me
ohhh
let out what you’ve trapped inside
come on and show your catholic pride
(that’s how you were meant to be)
i am catholic, hear me roar
in numbers too big to ignore
and i’m not gonna hold, back no more
no you won’t, you won’t deny (ooh)
c-a-t-h-l-i-c, catholic with a capital c
that’s how it was meant
oh oh oh
that’s how it was meant
ooh
that’s how i was, meaant
to-a-ooh
ahh, eeee, aiii, ooohhh
oooo, yeahh
be-aah!
