Prayer
********

PERCY
[00:13]No, stay.
[00:18]I don't care what you've said, or done,
[00:24]Don't go away,
[00:30]Not now, when life had just begun,
[00:37]Come back,
[00:42]And be the woman who I knew,
[00:48]Help me to believe in you,
[00:53]What on earth am I to do?

[01:01]She's gone,
[01:05]This vision who was not quite real,
[01:12]I must move on,
[01:17]Despite the pain,
[01:19]The pain will heal.

[01:24]Oh, Lord,
[01:29]How could you let me love like this?
[01:34]No one dies upon a kiss,
[01:40]And only fools believe ...
[01:45]... in bliss.

[01:49]And yes, God knows I am a fool,
[01:51]A man deluded by his wife,
[01:54]A figure ripe for ridicule,
[01:57]Who's lived a vain and useless life.

[02:00]So be it, then, I'll play that game,
[02:03]I do not give a tinker's damn,
[02:06]I'll be a fool, it's all the same,
[02:09]It truly doesn't matter what I am.

[02:17]God ...
[02:18]... no!
[02:22]I'm broken,
[02:24]But I'm still alive,
[02:28]And, slowly,
[02:36]I will feel my soul revive.
[02:44]With time,
[02:49]I'll find a way to right this wrong,
[02:55]If it takes my whole life long,
[03:01]Lord, I'll fight my battles all alone,
[03:08]But make me ...
[03:14]... strong!
