Evening Prayers

[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?

[Maragret]

Father almighty

She's only a child

But the woman is waking inside her

She will be lost

If her passion runs wild

So I can't let her stumble and fall

As you help 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

Satan? Angels? What can it be?

It's growing!

It's stirring!

It's churning, shifting!

Bending!

(Spoken)

Carrie: What's happening to me?

Margaret: You can go to bed now

Carrie: Yes, mama

Margaret: It's getting late, say your prayers

Carrie: Now, I lay me down to sleep. I pray the lord my soul to keep

(Both) if I die, before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take

[Margaret]

I never wanted to cause you such pain

But there are times when my life is 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 (margaret)]

Mama, you don't (I was wrong)

Need forgiveness from me

I know that you do (it hurts me)

What you have to (to hurt you.) (I'd rather die)

I want to dry all your tears (then see you)

So you'll see (suffer)

That I'm sorry for letting you down (one day you'll bless me, by taking away)

God bless me now (look inside your heart)

Can you look inside your heart (that's where forgiveness must start)

Show me the mercy that you've always shown (after all)

[Both]

We have no one except each other

[Carrie (margaret)]

(The world outside)

I was so afraid that you'll leave me alone (can't understand you)

And I'd die if you pushed me away (when they betray you I'll always be here!)

Promise you'll be here. (you're the reason I'm alive)

You're the reason I'm alive. (you're the only reason I'm alive)

You're my survival

[Both]

In my life there's only one thing true

I love (will always love) you
