Lyrics Brave Enough for Love - Marla Schaffel , James Barbour

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
