[LEPER]
Sometimes I hear my wife
She sobs there by our bedroom window
She says-
[WIFE]
God hear my cry
How could You leave this woman widowed?
[LEPER]
I just wanna hold her
But I have to act as if she's dead to me
From the moment I told her I ran
Can't stand with leprosy
Rewind now
Start the silence
As I lay there it became clear
I start to buy this
As the shame grows and I disappear
Into the darkness
I can't let her see me like this
She doesn’t know
So I have to go
No time for why God? Why me?
Write a note then I leave
Blow a kiss to my kids
As I stand by the door
Bandage my hands I question no more
You could clearly see I had leprosy
And she doesn’t know, so I have to go
Sometimes I hear my wife
She sobs there by our bedroom window
She says-
[WIFE]
God hear my cry
How could You leave this woman widowed?
[LEPER]
I just wanna hold her
But I have to act as if she's dead to me
From the moment I told her I ran
Can't stand with leprosy

I start to buy this
As the shame grows and I disappear
Into the darkness
I can't let her see me like this
She doesn’t know
So I have to go
No time for why God? Why me?
Write a note then I leave
Blow a kiss to my kids
As I stand by the door
Bandage my hands I question no more
You could clearly see I had leprosy
And she doesn’t know, so I have to go
