Int. Gabriel's Hideout - Night.

Gabriel:
Her words ring true, her message clear.
How can he hear through all the noise and dissonance?
I've seen a sign that he can change, if given just a chance.

Against all hope we found a way and it is all because she trusted me.
Why have a gift you can't embrace, when all you need is faith?

And there's a reason, now I see.
The reason I've been chosen.
She sees the light inside of me.
A reason to believe.

But I can't climb this mountain without you.
No, I can't face this on my own.
With you by my side, we will open his eyes,
and the truth will deliver us home.

And there's a reason, now I see.
The path that he has chosen.
He fears the light inside of me.

In the absence of song, he's forgotten right from wrong.
Our voices will release him, he's refused to listen for too long.
I'm convinced beyond a doubt, there can be no other way.
He just has to hear me out, there's so much I need to say.

But I can't climb this mountain without you.
No, I can't face this on my own.
With you by my side, we will open his eyes,
and the truth will deliver us home.
