Hamilton Mixtape: It's Quiet Uptown (Jesus)

My cover/mixtape/parody of It's Quiet Uptown (in the life of Jesus) Written by Lin-Manuel Miranda Originally performed by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Phillipa Soo There are moments that the words don’t reach There is suffering too terrible to name You hold your child as tight as you can And push away the unimaginable The moments when you’re in so deep It feels easier to just swim down The Nazarene walks uptown And learns to deal with the unimaginable I spent hours in the garden The twelve asleep on the floor And it’s quiet up here I never felt so lonely before I was praised in the streets on Sunday I hang on a cross evermore And I thirst That never used to happen before If you see him in the street, walking by Himself, talking to himself, have pity Father, they know not what they do? It's sad that's its true. He is working through the unimaginable His hair has gone grey. He passes on this day They say he walks the length of the city You knock me down, I fall apart Can you imagine? Mom, Behold your son John, Behold your mother I know I don’t deserve this, my mother But hear me out. This will be enough I want to save your life I want to trade your life for mine You'll be standing there right now In paradise, and that would be enough Father I commend my soul and All sin and shame I'm bearing It's the only way of repairing what's been lost Now is the time Am I not afraid? I know when I'm buried Just give me three days and in time That will be enough If you see him in the street, walking by himself, talking to himself, have pity Father, they know not what they do. They know not what they do. He is trying to do the unimaginable See them standing in the park, long after dark Taking in the sight of the city Oh my God, why do you forsake me They are trying to do the unimaginable There are moments that the words don’t reach There is a grace too powerful to name We push away what we can never understand We push away the unimaginable They are standing at Golgotha Before a spear pierces through his side He breathes his last Forgiveness. Can you imagine? Forgiveness. Can you imagine? If you see them in the street, walking by her Side, talking by her side, have pity They are going through the unimaginable
