ACT II, SCENE 3: WITH YOU - WE ARE STILL HERE - AMERICAN SATB - RECONCILIATION

[Bass Solo - Low Hum, Grounded, Almost Whispered] We know, we are hard to look at. [Tenor Joins - Warm, Honest] We have stood for something, and we have fallen short. [Alto + Soprano Enter - SATB Builds, A Cappella] We have done good things, things you may not want to see, and hard things, things we did not want to carry. [Full SATB - Deep Harmony, Valley] We have been in the depths of the valley, where light does not reach. [Pause - Then Lift - Sunrise] But the sun will still rise. [Chorus - All Four, Gripping Harmony, Not Loud - Intimate] We are still here. We are paying attention. We are listening. [Soaring But Humble - Not Above] We do not want to be above you, and we will not be below you. [Final - Unison Then Rich Harmony - The Core Line] We want to be with you. Let us be with you. Can we lift a little of your darkness? Can we lift a little of your fear? Let us be with you. Not above. Not below. With you. [Outro - Bass Holds, Soprano High Soft Like Dawn, Fade on Major] With you.
