Jekyll and Hyde movie - Emma's Reason lyrics

<br>

STRIDE:<br>

Emma Carew,<br>

Can this be you?<br>

What kind of man<br>

Is this you've taken?<br>

<br>

Can you not see<br>

The kind of life<br>

That this would be?<br>

You are mistaken!<br>

Time to awaken, <br>

Before it's too late,<br>

Before you forever<br>

Determine your fate!<br>

<br>

EMMA:<br>

But, Simon, you knew<br>

I had to be free.<br>

What I choose to do<br>

Is decided by me!<br>

<br>

From the day my mother died,<br>

My father , full of good intentions,<br>

Treated me as though I were a young child.<br>

Maybe his idea was just to wait<br>

Until I grew up,<br>

And then look at me<br>

And hope that I'd be her.<br>

<br>

It's easy to accept that <br>

From a father<br>

He'd rather<br>

Things remained the way they were.<br>

But when it comes to marriage,<br>

I must pick whom I prefer!<br>

I am not the weak young thing<br>

You're seeking, Simon,<br>

Someone seventeen, obedient and sweet.<br>

I am not the protégée <br>

To waste your time on.<br>

I'm complete -<br>

In Henry's eyes I see<br>

What I am meant to be! -<br>
