[Bells. Single church bell, three times. Then brass enters, warm and full.] We walked through the fire We looked into darkness We called out the evil We called it by name [Full chorus joins] We prayed and God answered We looked and God showed us We named and God agreed [Stone drop sound effect. Barely audible beneath the brass. Only the audience will hear it.] We got all the right people We got all the right people The evidence was clear And justice has been done We got all the right people God showed us who they were And we were brave enough To name them one by one [Soprano lead steps forward, genuine tears of relief] Our children can sleep now Our fields will bear fruit now The shadow has lifted The devil has gone [Full ensemble, swelling] We prayed and God answered We looked and God showed us We named and God agreed [single cello enters beneath the brass, pizzicato, one repeating note, almost inaudible] We got all the right people We got all the right people We looked into our hearts And our hearts were true We got all the right people It feels so good It feels so good It feels so good [The cello gets slightly louder. Still beneath. Still almost nothing.] To have God on our side [Full orchestra, fullest moment of the show, every voice] IT FEELS SO GOOD TO HAVE GOD ON OUR SIDE [The cello is now audible to anyone listening. One note. Repeating. Like a heartbeat or a stone dropping.] IT FEELS SO GOOD TO HAVE GOD ON OUR SIDE [Brass holds final chord] [Choir holds] [Cello plays alone] [Silence] [Lights out]
