Premiere Cast - Evening Prayers Lyrics
CARRIE:
Jesus watches from the wall, but his face is cold as stone
If he loves me, why do I feel so all alone?
Baby savior meek and mild, what do you do with my prayers?
If you hear me, why do I feel that no one cares?
MARGARET:
Father almighty, she is only a child,
But the woman is waking inside her.
She will be lost if her passion runs wild,
So I can't let her stumble and fall.
As you helped your child divine,
Give me the strength to help mine.
CARRIE:
Mama sees inside my soul, but her face is cold as stone,
If she loves me, why do I feel so all alone?
So alone
There's a movement in my head,
Saints and angels what can it be?
It's growing, it's stirring,
It's churning, shifting, bending!
CARRIE (spoken): What's happening to me?
MARGARET (spoken): You can go to bed now.
CARRIE (spoken): Yes, mama.
MARGARET (spoken): It's getting late, say your prayers.
CARRIE (spoken): Now I lay me down to sleep...
TOGETHER (spoken): Pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I die before I wake, pray the Lord my soul to take.
MARGARET:
I never wanted to cause you such pain,
But there are times when my life is so frightening.
Maybe I do things that I can't explain,
But my feelings for you never change.
You are still my precious one
Can you forgive what I've done?
CARRIE:
Mama you don't need forgiveness from me
MARGARET:
I was wrong...
CARRIE:
Oh I know that you do what you have to
MARGARET:
It hurts me to hurt you...
I'd rather die than see you suffer!
CARRIE:
I want to dry all your tears so you'll see that I'm sorry for letting you down!
MARGARET:
One day you'll bless me for lighting your way!
CARRIE:
Won't you bless me now?
MARGARET:
Look inside your heart,
CARRIE:
Can you look inside your heart?
MARGARET:
That's where forgiveness must start.
CARRIE:
Show me the mercy that you've always shown,
MARGARET:
After all,
TOGETHER:
We have no one except each other.
MARGARET:
The world outside can't understand you!
CARRIE:
I'm so afraid that you'd leave me alone, and I'd die if you pushed me away!
MARGARET:
When they betray you I'll always be here!
CARRIE:
Promise you'll be here!
MARGARET:
You're the reason I'm alive!
CARRIE:
You're the reason I'm alive!
MARGARET:
You're the only reason I survive!
CARRIE:
You're my survival!
TOGETHER:
In my life there's only one thing true!
MARGARET:
I will always love you...
CARRIE:
I love you...
