Pirate Queen movie - My Grace lyrics
rate meSong by Original Broadway Cast<br /><br>
[DUBHDARA]<br>
My child, my Grace,<br>
A stow'way on my ship<br>
And what a fool you've made me<br>
<br>
I'm proud! I am!<br>
I'll put away the whip<br>
But still - you disobeyed me<br>
<br>
For flouting me<br>
As any sailor knows,<br>
I'd have him keelhauled through the water<br>
But when I think<br>
What judgment to impose<br>
I only see my daughter<br>
<br>
Grania at the fireside<br>
Dancing with her father...<br>
<br>
[GRANIA] <br>
How I did adore you!<br>
<br>
[DUBHDARA]<br>
Were you a pirate even then?<br>
Had you a brigand's heart at ten?<br>
And I just didn't see it? <br>
<br>
[GRANIA]<br>
Pray that you'll allow me<br>
Stay a little longer<br>
Have my heart's desire!<br>
I wanted nothing more than this<br>
To be a sailor here beside you<br>
There is no duty, sir, I would not do<br>
To be serving for Ireland and you!<br>
<br>
[DUBHDARA]<br>
If you stay<br>
You know the crew's unease<br>
The battles on the seas<br>
And me - I'll want to shield you<br>
<br>
[GRANIA]<br>
Father, please<br>
Just let me have my start<br>
When you were sick at heart<br>
The ocean was what healed you<br>
<br>
[DUBHDARA]<br>
My Grania,<br>
My daughter through and through<br>
(makes his decision)<br>
Let my judgment be made<br>
And your brav'ry repaid:<br>
You can stay till this voyage is through<br>
And may God and this crew<br>
Please forgive what I do<br>
Dearest Grania...<br>
<br>
[GRANIA]<br>
Dearest Captain...<br>
<br>
[DUBHDARA]<br>
Women are a myst'ry<br>
Wild, elusive creatures<br>
Twenty times a bother<br>
Sometimes the closest to your heart<br>
Are the ones you know least of<br>
<br>
Now I see you standing<br>
Fiery as your mother<br>
Stubborn as your father<br>
How can I chastise you for dreams<br>
And hold your untamed heart against you<br>
When it's what I'm most proud of in me<br>
<br>
Who can even imagine<br>
The trials you will face<br>
As you strive to live free<br>
<br>
Be who you are,<br>
For you're my Grace,<br>
And you'll always be<br>
<br>
