The Color Purple Cast - Our Prayer (feat. 2015 Broadway Cast) lyrics

I wanna know how the world goes How far is the moon? How the sky changes color? Hope i find out soon What you want? I wanna sit and do nothing Make you a new dress Hope my babies are happy Someplace god will bless Celie! Get to work! Ain't no need to discuss It ain't worth a big fuss Whatever come to us Is in god's hands When i lay me down to sleep I will say my prayer That god love me so deep He will promise our souls to keep Together I'll say a prayer Who that man talkin' to pa? He lookin' for a new wife take care of his mean [?] I wanna marry nettie She a sweet young girl She too young She's the cutest thing In this whole world She gonna be a teacher Picture me in a schoolhouse With my college degree I could teach all my children To spell tennessee You can have celie, though She too old to be livin' at home Maybe i'll have a garden Where birds come to sing Know a finch from a sparrow Fix a broken wing I don't want celie. She ugly I wanna hear your birds sing Wanna hear your school bell ring No matter what life bring Us in god's hands Whyn't you quit comin' 'round here Just go marry your shug avery? Shug avery Who shug avery? Shug avery! She mister ol' girlfriend Shug avery not a child-raisin' woman You know that. She the queen honeybee She a low-down ho, is what everybody say You lookin' for a new shug avery You better go to memphis. All we got here is one Pretty girl you can't never have, and one ugly gal That work like a man. I-i-i-i I-i-i-i really want that girl I told you no! When I I wanna Lay me down to marry Sleep I will she a Say my prayer sweet young girl That god love Me she the So deep, sweetest thing He will in this Promise whole Our souls wide world To keep together.
