choosing not to know - original broadway cast of in transit lyrics

[trent, spoken]
i’m glad you came to visit, momma
this has been a really nice couple of days
listen, momma… there’s something i’ve been meaning to tell you–

[momma, spoken]
oh, trent* do you think we’ll have time tomorrow to see grant’s tomb?
‘member how daddy used to ask us who’s buried there…

[trent, spoken]
momma, wait. i just need to–

[momma, spoken]
oh, and the brooklyn bridge, and central park…

[trent]
you cut me off, you close your ears
you turn aside just like you’ve done for years
you’re happy with the status quo
why are you choosing not to know?

momma, you know i’ve lived with steven
my roommate, for 3 years now…

[momma]
it says here that the cloisters is a division of the metropolitan
[trent]
so, about steven–

momma
trent, dear. i am reading my guidebook

[trent]
it’s taken time

churchgoers
we believe…

[trent]
to gather nerve

churchgoers
we believe…

[trent]
i think the truth is what we both deserve

churchgoers
we believe…

[trent]
i’m tryin’ to say something loud and clear
why are you choosing not to hear?
churchgoers
the word is true

[trent]
momma, listen to me
there’s something i have to tell you

momma
oh, now hush, honey

[trent]
momma–

[momma]
shhh!

[trent]
you already know. you know–

[momma]
trent*michael, please don’t!

all i’ve got is the word of god
it’s the one thing i can hold onto while the world keeps changing around me
i wish your father were here
[trent]
oh it says in your bible my life is a sin
and a fight against god is a fight i can’t win
once i say it out loud, then it can’t be undone
you already lost daddy, you can’t lose your son
you need to face

[churchgoers]
we believe…

[trent]
the truth someday

[churchgoers]
we believe…

[trent]
but just for now i’ll let you have your way

[churchgoers]
we believe…

[trent]
i know you love me, but even so **
it’s clear you’d have to let me go

[trent, (churchgoers)]
that’s why you’re choosing not to know (the word is true)
that’s why you’re choosing not to know (the word is true)
you’re choosing not to know (the word is true)

[momma, spoken]
you said you needed a winter coat
how ‘bout we go to macy’s and find a nice warm one?

[trent, spoken]
sure, momma. that’d be nice
