JANE: Sir, I have come back to you
 Content
 ROCHESTER: Great God! What delusion is this?
 JANE: Ready to stand here by your side,
 As you see fit...
 ROCHESTER: Is it Jane?
 JANE: As your friend, or as your bride.
 ROCHESTER: My living Jane!
 JANE: Sir, you are my second self
 And I will be your hands
 I'll be your eyes
 I am here
 With my heart
 ROCHESTER: I can't see, but I can feel...
 How I've loved you, every day.
 JANE: I've loved you stronger every day
 How I've lived without your touch...
 ROCHESTER: How I've struggled to survive...
 BOTH: ...Only God above can say.
 ROCHESTER: Am I hideous, Jane?
 JANE: Very, sir. You always were you know.
 ROCHESTER: I see the wickedness is still within you.
 But is it really you, Jane? Are you come back to me?
 JANE: I am!
 ROCHESTER: And you are not dead in some ditch, or an outcast among strangers?
 JANE: No, sir! I am an independent woman now!
 ROCHESTER
 And independent woman?
 JANE
 My aunt has died and left me her fortune
 ROCHESTER: Then you possess more wealth than I
 What could I possibly offer?
 I am no better
 Than the old chestnut
 Struck down by lightning
 Its life cleft in two
 For why should you marry
 A blind man, a cripple
 Tell me, Jane, what right do I have to you?
 I prayed in the name of God
 Don't let Jane suffer
 Don't let her die
 For three days, in my despair
 I cried to heaven
 Where is Jane Eyre?
 Then, from my lips
 Came a voice, came a name
 I cried "Jane" from the depths
 I called out
 I cried "Jane"
 BOTH: And I don't know what happened
 But I thought I heard you...
 JANE: Did you speak these words out loud?
 ROCHESTER: I did. If anyone was listening,
 he would have thought me mad... I called out with such frantic energy.
 JANE: And this was last Monday evening, just after sunset?
 ROCHESTER: Yes, but what followed is the strangest point.
 Where the voice came from, I cannot tell,
 but I know whose voice it was... And the voice replied...
 JANE: Edward? Where are you? Wait for me!
 ROCHESTER: Yes, yes... but how could you know that?
 JANE: The secrets of your heart
 Are like the secrets of the house
 They have finally been revealed
 ROCHESTER: There is no more to hide
 I have looked death in the face
 And though a part of me has died
 BOTH: I will never lose faith
 I will never lose heart
 For you have restored my trust
 And I know you're afraid
 I'm as scared as you are
 But willing to be brave
 Brave enough for love
 ROCHESTER: And now I have your hand
 JANE: Clutching mine with all its might
 Holding on for precious life
 ROCHESTER: The purifying flame
 Has washed us clean of all our fears
 BOTH: It was a miracle of God
 I will never lose faith
 I will never lose heart
 For you have restored my trust
 And I know you're afraid
 I'm as scared as you are
 But willing to be brave
 Brave enough for love
 And when I heard your voice
 Beyond the sky
 I knew it was a sign from God above
 One I could not deny
 JANE: So, gentle audience, I married him.
 No woman was ever nearer to her mate than I am,
 ever more absolutely bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh.
 ROCHESTER: The secret of the flame
 Is that there is no more to hide
 It cures our blindness
 And our pride
 BOTH: And we'll never lose faith
 We will never lose heart
 For you have restored my trust
 And I know you're afraid
 I'm as scared as you are
 But willing to be brave
 Brave enough for love
 JANE: Edward continued blind the first two years of our marriage,
 then, slowly, the sight in one eye began to return to him.
 CAST: Forgiveness
 Is the mightiest sword
 Forgiveness...
 JANE: And when our firstborn was placed into his arms,
 he could see that the boy had inherited his own eyes,
 as they once were-large, brilliant and black.
 On this occasion, we acknowledged with full hearts,
 that God had tempered judgment with mercy.
 ROCHESTER: I will never lose faith
 I will never lose heart
 For you have restored my trust
 JANE: And I know you're afraid
 I'm as scared as you are...
 BOTH: But willing to be brave
 Brave enough for love!
 CAST: I will never lose faith
 I will never lose heart
 For you have restored my trust
 And I know you're afraid
 I'm as scared as you are
 But willing to be brave
 Brave enough for love!
 I will never lose faith
 I will never lose heart
 For you have restored my trust
 And I know you're afraid
 I'm as scared as you are
 But willing to be brave
 Brave enough for love
 JANE: Brave enough for love!
 CAST: Brave enough for love
