Pray

Help! Someone, come quickly!
A car has crashed

Hello? Can you hear me?

(His skin is so pale, she thinks)

Can you see me?

(His eyes open for a moment)
(Eyes from another world)
(Gray as the sky)

Oh gods, oh gods
You saved my life for a reason
And now I think I know
Why

He roared down the road like the devil himself!
Going too fast around the curves!
Sent us scrambling off the road like chickens!
He has what he deserves!

Papa Ge wants him and Papa Ge will have him
The boy is dying before our eyes, help him, hide him
No! Don't touch him
Better leave him where he lies
Even a wealthy man sometimes dies

Please, he needs help
If this boy dies in our hands
The rich will send police!
He needs care
And if he lives, oh, how angry the gods will be!

The only thing that will save the boy's life
Is to send him back to his world
The only thing that will save the boy's life
Is me!
Please, Tonton

I will find where he comes from
Julian, no
I will find who he is and soon
But till I return, you care for him, Ti Moune

And her long vigil began
One day gone by
And two days gone by

The boy has the will of the devil himself
Clinging to life by one small thread
If it hadn't been for Julian's daughter
He'd certainly be dead!

Look how she bathes him
And touches and protects him
She binds his wounds and she rubs his chest
It's as if the girl's possessed!

You need food, you need sleep
You just can't go on without any sleep
Mama, ssh!
Have some tea (His skin is hot)
Have a rest (He needs me here)
Can't you see how much this matters to me?
I know what's best!

Now the sky is growing dim
And the clouds are racing by
And the gods are looking down
At a boy they meant to die
And a girl who placed herself in their way
Pray!
Pray!

Three days gone by
And four days gone by

I fear for the girl and her mother as well
Nothing but trouble looms ahead
Monsieur Julian could be deep in danger
Arrested, lost or dead!

Oh Asaka, mother of the earth
Guide the feet of this poor peasant man
Hear my prayer, which way there?
And which way home?

I need herbs (Your father gone)
Mama, herbs! (And you don't care)
Oh, my god, what has this boy done to you?
Mama, ssh!
He needs rest (Your Tonton lost)
He needs care (Because of you)
Can't you see that he's in terrible danger
What must I do?

Now the sky is turning dark
And the wind is turning chill
And the gods are out for blood
They've been cheated of their kill
By a girl without the sense to obey!
Pray!
Pray!

Julian, where is my Julian?
Bring my Julian home!

You want what?
I've come so far and I need—
Get back
I have some news for Monsieur—
Get back
Monsieur Beauxhomme has a—
Peasant pig!
Please, I beg—
You must be mad
I must see Monsieur!
Monsieur Beauxhomme?
I have come so far—
So far to die!
I have found his son!

Now the sky has turned to black
And the wind is like a knife
Pape Ge is coming back
For the boy who clings to life
And the girl who'll have the gods to repay!

Pray! (Papa Ge, don't come around me)
Pray! (Papa Ge, don't come around me)
Pray! (Papa Ge, don't come around me)
Pray! (Papa Ge, don't come around me)
Pray! (Papa Ge, don't come around me, don't come around me)
Pray!
