Jane Eyre:
What can I do now
My precious lord
His dark love would
Be my best reward
I know I should not dare to go
Deeper in his madness
But it's like a field
I must run through
No one's words will
Make me love him less
How much can I stand
I dare not guess
The secret voice
That speaks to me
Tells me he's in danger
Looking to the dust for tenderness
Deep in my secret soul
I stand alone
The purpose of why I'm here
Is still unknown
And I can't help but sense
The darkness in his mind
But I keep looking for his goodness
Afraid of what I'll find
My heart moves through his unquiet sea
I pray a wave will come and carry me
Closer to his troubled tide
Waters of his fury
But how can I swim this great divide
Deep in my secret soul (Mr. Rochester: Her spring of life)
I cry his tears (Mr. Rochester: draws me near)
I weather his angry voice (Mr. Rochester: Her gentle voice)
I feel his fears (Mr. Rochester: I hold dear)
Jane & Mr. Rochester:
His (Mr. Rochester: her) life has infected every wound
And every pore
I feel his (Mr. Rochester: her) mystery possess me
And I pray that mercy's hand
Will bless me
Jane: Deep in his secret soul
Mr. Rochester: Deep in my secret soul
Jane: His past is cursed
Mr. Rochester: I stand alone
Jane: I summon my deepest will
To still his thirst
Mr. Rochester: I will not atone
Jane: God give me the strength to go
Mr. Rochester: And I will not have her, let her
Jane: The journey I take must first begin
Mr. Rochester: Deep within
Jane: Deep within
Jane & Mr. Rochester: My secret soul
