Sir I have come back to you

Content

Great god

Ready to stand here by your side

Is it Jane

As you see fit

As your friend or as your bride

My living Jane

Sir you are my second self

And I will be your hands

I'll be your eyes

I am here

With my heart

I can't see but I can feel

I've loved you stronger every day

How I've lived without your touch

How I've struggled to survive

Only god above can say

Am I hideous Jane

Very sir you always were you know

I see the wickedness is still within you

But is it really you Jane are you come back to me

I am

And you are not dead in some ditch or an outcast among strangers

No sir I am an independent woman now

And independent woman

My aunt has died and left me her fortune

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

And I don't know what happened

But I thought I heard you

Did you speak these words out loud

I did if anyone was listening

He would have thought me mad I called out with such frantic energy

And this was last monday evening just after sunset

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

Edward where are you wait for me

Yes yes but how could you know that

The secrets of your heart

Are like the secrets of the house

They have finally been revealed

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

And I know you're afraid

I'm as scared as you are

But willing to be brave

Brave enough for love

And now I have your hand

Clutching mine with all its might

Holding on for precious life

The purifying flame

Has washed us clean of all our fears

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

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

The secret of the flame

Is that there is no more to hide

It cures our blindness

And our pride

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

Edward 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 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

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

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

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

Brave enough for love
