And the Gods Heard Her Prayer Lyrics
A STORYTELLER
And the gods heard her prayer.

ASAKA(Spoken)
The peasant girl wants a grand homme to carry
carry her away!
(sung)
I should...
Find a tree all covered with mangos
Juicy mangos, fat and well-fed
Pick a mango

AGWE
A juicy mango

ERZULIE
A lovely mango

PAPA GE
A poison mango

ASAKA
Drop the mango...

ALL
BOOM!

ASAKA
And knock some sense in her head!

ALL GODS
Knock some sense in her head!

AGWE
Splash her with a wave!

PAPA GE
Scare her half to death!

ERZULIE
Give her what she wants?

ASAKA, AGWE, PAPA GE
Give her what she...?

ERZULIE
give her what she wants

Love has many powers
If the love is true

It can cross the earth (To Asaka)
And withstand the storm (To Agwe)
It can conquer even you (To Papa Ge)

PAPA GE (Spoken)
Hah! Love conquer death? Why, I could stop
her heart like that!

ERZULIE (Spoken)
Stop her heart from beating, yes. But not
from loving. Not if love is what she chooses.

PAPA GE
Ridiculous!

AGWE
Interesting!

ASAKA
More amusing than mangos!

ALL
A journey!

ERZULIE
I will give her strength
When the time is right

ASAKA
I will guide her way

PAPA GE
I will make her choose!

AGWE
And I'll provide the place
Where two different worlds
will meet Tonight.

ALL
Tonight!
