Pray

Lyrics

Help! Someone, come quickly!
 A car has crashed
 
 Hello? Can you hear me?
 (His skin is so pale, she thinks)
 Can you see me?
 (His eyes open for a moment)
 ♪
 (Eyes from another world)
 (Gray as the sky)
 Oh gods, oh gods
 You saved my life for a reason
 And now I think I know
 Why
 ♪
 He roared down the road like the devil himself!
 Going too fast around the curves!
 Sent us scrambling off the road like chickens!
 He has what he deserves!
 Papa Ge wants him and Papa Ge will have him
 The boy is dying before our eyes, help him, hide him
 No! Don't touch him
 Better leave him where he lies
 Even a wealthy man sometimes dies
 Please, he needs help
 If this boy dies in our hands
 The rich will send police!
 He needs care
 And if he lives, oh, how angry the gods will be!
 The only thing that will save the boy's life
 Is to send him back to his world
 The only thing that will save the boy's life
 Is me!
 Please, Tonton
 I will find where he comes from
 Julian, no
 I will find who he is and soon
 But till I return, you care for him, Ti Moune
 And her long vigil began
 One day gone by
 And two days gone by
 The boy has the will of the devil himself
 Clinging to life by one small thread
 If it hadn't been for Julian's daughter
 He'd certainly be dead!
 Look how she bathes him
 And touches and protects him
 She binds his wounds and she rubs his chest
 It's as if the girl's possessed!
 You need food, you need sleep
 You just can't go on without any sleep
 Mama, ssh!
 Have some tea (His skin is hot)
 Have a rest (He needs me here)
 Can't you see how much this matters to me?
 I know what's best!
 Now the sky is growing dim
 And the clouds are racing by
 And the gods are looking down
 At a boy they meant to die
 And a girl who placed herself in their way
 Pray!
 Pray!
 Three days gone by
 And four days gone by
 I fear for the girl and her mother as well
 Nothing but trouble looms ahead
 Monsieur Julian could be deep in danger
 Arrested, lost or dead!
 ♪
 Oh Asaka, mother of the earth
 Guide the feet of this poor peasant man
 Hear my prayer, which way there?
 And which way home?
 
 I need herbs (Your father gone)
 Mama, herbs! (And you don't care)
 Oh, my god, what has this boy done to you?
 Mama, ssh!
 He needs rest (Your Tonton lost)
 He needs care (Because of you)
 Can't you see that he's in terrible danger
 What must I do?
 Now the sky is turning dark
 And the wind is turning chill
 And the gods are out for blood
 They've been cheated of their kill
 By a girl without the sense to obey!
 Pray!
 Pray!
 ♪
 Julian, where is my Julian?
 Bring my Julian home!
 You want what?
 I've come so far and I need—
 Get back
 I have some news for Monsieur—
 Get back
 Monsieur Beauxhomme has a—
 Peasant pig!
 Please, I beg—
 You must be mad
 I must see Monsieur!
 Monsieur Beauxhomme?
 I have come so far—
 So far to die!
 I have found his son!
 Now the sky has turned to black
 And the wind is like a knife
 Pape Ge is coming back
 For the boy who clings to life
 And the girl who'll have the gods to repay!
 Pray! (Papa Ge, don't come around me)
 Pray! (Papa Ge, don't come around me)
 Pray! (Papa Ge, don't come around me)
 Pray! (Papa Ge, don't come around me)
 Pray! (Papa Ge, don't come around me, don't come around me)
 Pray!
