Evening Prayers Lyrics - Singles - Premiere Cast

Carrie: 

Jesus watches from the wall 

But his face is cold as stone 

If he loves me 

why do I feel so all alone 

Baby savior meek and mild 

What do you do with my prayers 

if you hear me 

why do I feel that no one cares 

Margaret: 

God almighty she's only a child 

But the woman's waking inside her 

She will be lost if her passion runs wild 

so i can't let her stumble and fall 

as you helped your child divine 

give me the strength to help mine 

Carrie: 

Mama sees inside my soul 

but her face is cold as stone 

if she loves me 

why do I feel so all alone 

so alone 

There's a movement in my head 

Saints and angels what can it be 

it's growing 

it's stirring 

it's churning 

shifting 

bending 

(Spoken) What's happening to me? 

Margaret: 

(spoken) You can go to bed now. 

Carrie: 

(spoken) Yes mama. 

Margaret: 

(spoken) It's getting late. Say your prayers 

Carrie: 

(spoken) Now I lay me down to sleep 

Together: 

(spoken) Pray the lord my soul to keep 

if i die before i wake 

Pray the lord my soul to take 

Margaret: 

I never wanted to cause you such pain 

But there are times when my life was so frightening 

maybe i do things that i can't explain 

but my feelings for you never change 

you are still my precious one 

can you forgive what I've done? 

Carrie: 

mama you don't need forgiveness from me 

oh I know that you do what you have to 

I want to dry all your tears for you see 

that i'm sorry for letting you down 

god bless me now 

can you look inside your heart 

show me the mercy that you've always shown 

Margaret: 

(Simultaneous with Carrie above) 

I was wrong 

It hurts me 

to hurt you 

I'd rather die 

than see you suffer 

one day you'll bless me, by taking away 

look inside your heart 

that's where forgiveness must start 

after all 

Together: 

We have no one except each other 

Carrie: 

I was so afraid that you'd leave me alone 

and I'd die if you pushed me away 

promise you'll be here 

You're the reason I'm alive 

You're my survival 

In my life there's only one thing true 

I love you 

Margaret: 

(simultaneous with above Carrie) the world outside 

that will leave you stranded 

You're the reason I'm alive 

You're the only reason I'm alive 

In my life there's only one thing true 

I love (always love) 

you
