Jonas:
Tell me what did we do coming out of the stakes
With no folks, no dough, the whole world unknown,
Just two scared kids trying to make it?
Sam:
Rise up
Jonas:
And what did we do in the spring of '06
When they tossed me in jail and we couldn't make bail
And you lived in the car 'till I was back on the street?
Sam:
Yeah, good times!
Jonas:
If there's one damn thing I know for sure
We gotta keep on moving.
This town is a convenience store,
Breeze in, stack up and go.
All we need is just one major score
For things to start improving.
Trust me Sam, we'll rise up.
Sam:
And what if we don't?
Jonas:
Sure it's looking bad.
What else is new?
Sam:
What's the plan?
Jonas:
Not a clue.
We'll pull through somehow, we always do.
Gotta take a leap of faith.

Walking Like Daddy
by Leap Of Faith Cast
Daddy was strong and pure and proud
And he walked next to God, unafraid.
Daddy went forth with head unbowed,
never stumbled or stopped or strayed.
Though he no longer walks beside us,
still his footprints are here to guide us.
Daddy was what I hope to be,
and his path will be my path too.
Every step, every day, every inch of the way.
I'll be walkin' like Daddy, talkin' like Daddy,
Doin' what Daddy would do.
And he walked next to God, unafraid.
Daddy went forth with head unbowed,
never stumbled or stopped or strayed.
Though he no longer walks beside us,
still his footprints are here to guide us.
Daddy was what I hope to be,
and his path will be my path too.
Every step, every day, every inch of the way.
I'll be walkin' like Daddy, talkin' like Daddy,
Doin' what Daddy would do.

I Can Read You
by Leap Of Faith Cast
I think you read folks like you do to keep the world from reading you.
It's hard to hit a target that keeps moving See, I don't know the life you've had.
But someone somewhere hurt you bad.
And you don't want that wound to start improving.
So you come on hard and won't drop your guard for a second.
And you pick apart everybody's heart so your own Can stay unknown.
JONAS:
Can we stop now?
MARLA:
See, I can read you like an open book.
You're pretty much like me down to the core.
JONAS:
Oh I can read you
MARLA:
Yes I can read you.
BOTH:
Let's turn the page and read a little more.
It's hard to hit a target that keeps moving See, I don't know the life you've had.
But someone somewhere hurt you bad.
And you don't want that wound to start improving.
So you come on hard and won't drop your guard for a second.
And you pick apart everybody's heart so your own Can stay unknown.
JONAS:
Can we stop now?
MARLA:
See, I can read you like an open book.
You're pretty much like me down to the core.

I Can Read You (Reprise)
by Leap Of Faith Cast
Sam:
When we put that kid on stage tomorrow-
Jonas:
He's not going on stage
Sam:
Are you kidding me!?
Jonas:
His mother is the sheriff!
Sam:
Ooooh! (laughs) That was fast!
Jonas:
What?
Sam:
Yeah, I suppose I should have guessed
Jonas:
Sam...
Sam:
No, I'll admit it! I'm impressed
Hey! Did you get to use her handcuffs?
Come on, tell me.
Well, it's not like you not to collect on a bet.
Jonas:
Not your bussines either way
Sam:
Oh, please!
As if I buy whatever cr*p your trying to sell me
Jonas:
You hear yourself?
Could you sound more jealous?
Sam:
Hey! I'm not jealous!
I'm angry
Since when do you let a piece of strage ruin our show?
Jonas:
Sam, just let it go!
Both:
I can read you like an open book
There ain't no way to hide a single lie
You know it!
I can read you like an open book
Sam:
As for the kid
Jonas:
Yeah, what about him?
Sam:
He could be useful
Jonas:
Sure, who'd doubt him?
Sam:
So?
Jonas:
Trust me
We'll take this town without him
Sam:
Jonas!
Jonas:
Trust me
Sam:
You start caring about too many people, our whole thing goes straight to hell.
When we put that kid on stage tomorrow-

He's not going on stage

King Of Sin
by Leap Of Faith Cast
Jonas:
Brothers and sisters.
Your sheriff is right when she warns you to beware. In fact -
Sam:
Where are you going now Jonas?
Jonas:
My past is far more disturbing than you can imagine.
I have robbed, I have conned, I have cheated.
I have duped, and defrauded, and stolen
I've lusted and lied and let evil inside of my soul, oh yeah.
I have hurt, and betrayed and mistreated
And suckered, and swindled and scammed
I've done so much deceit and I've scandalized even the damned, yes indeed
But like it or not, I'm exactly what you need
I have run down the highway to ruin, I've fallen farther than Lucifer fell
I've spent my life waiting to party with Satan in hell, yes sir!
And, whatever misdeeds you've been doin', whatever your conscience conceals,
I ain't judging you bro I'm just sayin', I know how it feels
Cos if you think you've strayed, you're only a beginner
If you think you're cursed, you still ain't truly been
And if you think you're doomed, just look at me you sinner
I am the king of sin
No, no!
I ain't up here bragging
My life is a disgrace
But lying in my bed one night, I saw the good lord's face
I cringed beneath the covers, sure the lord would strike me dead
Let me tell you what our savior said
He said," Jack Newton, I wipe away your shame
I pardon all your sins, but in return, I'll take your name
Go forth from here and be reborn as Jonas, meaning my prophet
and Nightingale, he who sings
Tell all your fellow sinners, the forgiveness Jesus brings"
Then my life was clear as it could be
I understood why god had called on me
Sam:
Get those baskets back out there!
Jonas:
I'm the lowest of all of the lowly
the baddest of all of the bad
My criminal record is so frigging checkered it's plaid, oh yeah
But if I took from hell down to holy
I turned from the wrong to the right
Well who better, I say, to show others the way to the light
So if you lost at life, I'll help make you a winner
If you're and down out, I'll point you up and in
And if you need the proof, just look at me you sinner!
I am the king
I am the king
I am the king of sin
Marva:
Oh, he puts on a good show. I won't argue that.
But before you give him your hard earned money, ask yourself where it goes.
Look at the clothes he wears, the Mercedes bus he drives.
Look at the legal bills he incurs!
Ask yourself if he's truly a man of god, why he needs your money at all.
Jonas:
Now you judge me falsely sister Marva.
That money is not for me, or my choir.
They haven't seen a dime in months! Idn't that right, angels?
Choir:
That's right!
Jonas:
Think it's about making money, oh no
There's far easier ways to do that
It's about saving souls!
This is about eternal life!
About which side of the ledger you will be on when the judgement day comes!
If you think that I can't lead you from damnation
And if you think that I'm a fraud who don't know jack
Well this money here won't buy you your salvation
So take it back, take it back!
Take every penny of your doubt money back!
Marva:
Jonas Nightingale, you're under arrest.
Anything you say can and will be used against you
Isaiah:
Wake up stop dancing, dancing in the devil's shoes
Folks, your souls are yours to lose
It's time to use your heads and chose, yes chose!
Stop prancing, please
Jonas:
I promise you, tomorrow night, if this tent is filled, you will see a miracle!
Chorus:
Your grant will set you free
Dancing, dancing in the devil's shoes
Brothers and sisters.
Your sheriff is right when she warns you to beware. In fact -
Sam:
Where are you going now Jonas?
Jonas:

Long Past Dreaming
by Leap Of Faith Cast
When I was just a kid
More than a bit naive
I knew dreams could come true,
Especially if you believe.
Wished on a million stars,
Prayed 'till my knees were red.
And I'd ache, lying awake in my bed.
But now I'm long past dreamin', lost past burnin',
Long past learnin' things can't be just right.
Cos all that wishin', comes to nothin,'
when you waken to the dawn's cold light.
Lowered my hopes a notch,
Wasn't too hard to do.
Life, love, big dreams and small,
Somehow they all fell through.
Wished upon one last star
Shimmering way up high
But that, too was just a beautiful lie.
And now I'm long past dreamin', long past tryin'
Long past sighin' when the stars shine bright.
Cos hopes get stolen, hearts get broken
dreams get taken from you overnight.
And you with all the pretty things you like to say
we both know come mornin', they're just gonna melt away.
You see I'm long past dreamin',
Long past hurtin',
Long past certain that I know the score at all.
So all I'm askin' is a reason,
One good reason I should dream once more.
Show me somethin' that's worth dreamin' for.
More than a bit naive
I knew dreams could come true,
Especially if you believe.
Wished on a million stars,
Prayed 'till my knees were red.
And I'd ache, lying awake in my bed.
But now I'm long past dreamin', lost past burnin',
Long past learnin' things can't be just right.
Cos all that wishin', comes to nothin,'
when you waken to the dawn's cold light.
Lowered my hopes a notch,
Wasn't too hard to do.
Life, love, big dreams and small,
Somehow they all fell through.
Wished upon one last star
Shimmering way up high
But that, too was just a beautiful lie.
And now I'm long past dreamin', long past tryin'
Long past sighin' when the stars shine bright.
Cos hopes get stolen, hearts get broken
dreams get taken from you overnight.
And you with all the pretty things you like to say
we both know come mornin', they're just gonna melt away.
You see I'm long past dreamin',
Long past hurtin',
Long past certain that I know the score at all.
So all I'm askin' is a reason,
One good reason I should dream once more.
Show me somethin' that's worth dreamin' for.

People Like Us
by Leap Of Faith Cast
Sam:
Daddy settled down near some hillbilly town God know where,
Tennessee Building himself a church out of clapboard and birch and my brother and me
Every single day we would kneel in the dirt for him
Every single day or he'd hit till we hurt for him
Right until the day the good Lord gave him cancer, Amen.
I was 5, Jonas 10.
Daddy didn't need no damn pills, he decreed, If our faith would be strong.
And so everyday spitting blood he would say,
We were doing him wrong.
Every day we prayed but our prayers weren't strong enough
Every day we sang but too soft or not long enough
Till the day he crawled to the grave that we dug him and died.
That's the first time I cried.
But my brother he said as he sat on the bend by my side,
People like us are lucky
People like us are tough
Like it or not,
We're all that we've got
But that's got to be enough
People like shave no one
No one but us that's who
People like us have to stick to each other like glue That's what we do.
Marla:
I'm sorry, but it's no excuse.
Sam:
I know, but I see you when you think your boy is threatened.
Marla:
That's totally different.
Sam:
Is it?
Marla:
With his daddy gone we just keep keeping on, Holding fast, clinging tight.
Sam:
All we have is each other, that's all.
Marla:
People come and go
Sam:
You can trust in them though when they've fade out of sight
Marla:
Can't let anyone inside the walls
Sam:
And through all the years doubt has never misguided us
Marla:
This world is too hard
Sam:
And through all the years life has never blindsided us
Marla:
Can't let down our guard
Sam:
All the lonely years and still nothing's divided us yet.
Marla:
Not yet.
But we never forget.
Sam:
No, we never forget.
Both:
People like us are different.
People like us survive.
We've always known,
We're in this alone.
And that's why we're still alive.
People like us are certain
Only one thing is true
People like us do whatever we must to come through
Marla:
And that's what we do.

If Your Faith Is Strong Enough

Jonas (sung):
If your faith is strong enough
(spoken): Angels...
Choir:
If you keep believing' long enough.
If you sing God's song enough.
Then your faith will set you free.
Yes your faith will set you free.
You got to give him, a-hundred-and-ten percent,
twenty-four-seven, every day of the year.
And if you give it again and again,
then and only then will the good lord hear.
Jonas (spoken):
Kid, if this doesn't work, it's nothing you did wrong. You know that.
Jake (spoken):
I know you're going to heal me Jonas, I know it.
Angels (sung):
If your faith is strong enough
Jake (spoken):
Get Me Up Jonas, Jonas, Please. Pray for me.

If your faith, is strong enough.

Jonass Soliloquy
by Leap Of Faith Cast
Well it's some kind of scam, isn't it?
It was all just too packed, wasn't it?
It's that kid, and his mother,
In cahoots with one another.
Sure it's gotta be that, doesn't it?
What's the game?
Well who knows?
Should've seen it, I suppose.
Well they worked me and they played me
Can't believe they nearly swayed me.
Or it might be a fluke, mightn't it?
Could be all in his head, couldn't it?
Something wrong in his attic, psycho—what's the world?—somatic
would explain it instead, wouldn't it?
It makes sense, it was odd,
All that cr*p with him and God,
And those morons really think they got a miracle,
Swear they felt the hand of fate.
Anyone can see it's not a miracle.
Time to set those suckers straight.
No one here but me can make a miracle.
I'm the guy who pulls the strings.
I say where and when to fake a miracle.
Get it folks? There's no such thing.
But we're just flesh and bone, aren't we?
In this world on our own, aren't we?
Fine with me. I've succeeded.
I am all I ever needed,
And we're better off alone, aren't we?
Aren't we?
Aren't we?
What the hell happened in that tent, tonight?
Can't be you, you're not real, are you?
And you know faith can't heal, don't you?
But if good did come though me, don't just stand there,
Prove it to me, come on, make me a deal.
Won't you?
Wipe the slate, make me new
Point the way to something true.
Do it now, cos I'll never ask again.
Give me something to believe in.
One damn thing and we'll be even.
Go ahead.
Here I am.
Bring it on—please!
Amen.
It was all just too packed, wasn't it?
It's that kid, and his mother,
In cahoots with one another.
Sure it's gotta be that, doesn't it?
What's the game?
Well who knows?
Should've seen it, I suppose.
Well they worked me and they played me
Can't believe they nearly swayed me.
Or it might be a fluke, mightn't it?
Could be all in his head, couldn't it?
Something wrong in his attic, psycho—what's the world?—somatic
would explain it instead, wouldn't it?
It makes sense, it was odd,
All that cr*p with him and God,
And those morons really think they got a miracle,
Swear they felt the hand of fate.
Anyone can see it's not a miracle.
Time to set those suckers straight.
No one here but me can make a miracle.
I'm the guy who pulls the strings.
I say where and when to fake a miracle.
Get it folks? There's no such thing.
But we're just flesh and bone, aren't we?
In this world on our own, aren't we?
Fine with me. I've succeeded.
I am all I ever needed,
And we're better off alone, aren't we?
Aren't we?
Aren't we?
What the hell happened in that tent, tonight?
Can't be you, you're not real, are you?
And you know faith can't heal, don't you?
But if good did come though me, don't just stand there,
Prove it to me, come on, make me a deal.
Won't you?
Wipe the slate, make me new
Point the way to something true.
Do it now, cos I'll never ask again.
Give me something to believe in.
One damn thing and we'll be even.
Go ahead.
Here I am.
Bring it on—please!
Amen.

Leap Of Faith
by Leap Of Faith Cast
Choir:
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ooooh.
Ida Mae:
Sometimes in your life, you reach a wall.
Up you climb, risking all.
There you stand alone, afraid to fall.
'Till you take a Leap of Faith.
Isaiah:
Gaze down from that rink, and look around
Dark prevails, doubts abound.
If you want to land on solid ground.
You gotta take a leap of faith.
Group:
So take that leap of faith.
Walk out on the ledge.
Lay aside your doubts,
Stand right on the edge.
Bid your fears goodbye.
And step into the sky.
You gotta take a leap of faith.

I'm not too sure what's happened.
Or if it's really so.

If you breathe in deep,
And you take a leap of faith!
