Why Should I

Anna Miriam Brown

Compositor: Anna Miriam Brown / Isaac J Brown

[Moses]
Ashra, are you okay?

[Ashra]
No, I'm not

[Ashra and Moses]
I'm sorry dad lost his temper
He does that a lot
He disciplines you for your own sake
How can you defend him?
When I've been beaten for so long in the name of our God and his love of repentance!
But why should I repent when I am not to blame?
And why should I submit to a hypocrite's little game?
Aacro lied and Aacro sinned and Aacro tried to pass the blame
But I will not repent when I am not to blame!

[Moses]
Ash, at least Aacro's Jewish

[Ashra and Moses
Right, and Matty left the faith
But I'd rather choose an ex-Jew than a Jew whose faith is all fake
Moses, I've never seen such kindness than on Matthias' face
His delicate face, eyes of grace, strong hands that would never, ever, ever cause me pain
So why should I repent when I still wanna flee?
And why should I submit when Matty looks so free?
Mother watched and father raged and Aacro edged insanity
So why should I repent when I just wanna be free?

[Moses]
Ash, nobody's perfect

[Ashra and Moses]
Ha, ain't that the truth?
But pray that God will turn this for his good
That's all I do, but big brother, you don't get it
Get what?
God listens to you!
You're a priest, I'm just me
You are young, you're confused
No, I think I can fine'ly see the truth

[Moses]
Please don't do anything you'll regret

[Ashra]
Please leave my room
