Jane:
Sir, I have come back to you...
Rochester:
Great god! What delusion is this?
Jane:
Content,
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 managed to survive...
Both:
...Only God above can say.
Rochester:
Am I hideous, Jane?
Jane:
Very, sir. You always were you know.
Rochester:
Ha, ha! I see the wickedness is still within you.
Jane:
But sir, I am an independent woman now!
My uncle has died and left me a fortune!
Rochester:
Janet, a rich woman.
What now can I offer you?
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, they would have thought me mad...I called out with such frantic energy.
Jane:
And this was last Monday evening, just after susnet?
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
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
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 am now married to Mr. Rochester. 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:
Mr. Rochester continued blind the first two years of our marriage, then, slowly, the sight in one eye began to return to him. And when our firstborn was placed into his arms, he coul 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 judgement with mercy.
Rochester:
I will never lose faith
I will never lose heart
For you ahve 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!
Rochester, Jane and Ensamble:
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!
