[DOTTY]
Mornin', Caroline

[CAROLINE]
Mornin', Dot

[DOTTY]
How you doin', girl? You doin' alright?

[CAROLINE]
I can't visit now, it's gettin' late

[DOTTY]
Ms. Gellman call, looking for you
You ought to call her, say you quit

[CAROLINE]
I ain't said I quit

[DOTTY]
Ain't been to work there
For five days, honey
That sure sound like quit to me

[CAROLINE]
Oh, I got to go to Church, Dot
I need to pray
Said and done some things this week I'm sad about
And I need to pray
[DOTTY]
Oh, Caroline, Emmie is young, she don't know about you
About what you'd do if you'd a mind to
Change yourself, Caroline, learn something new
Show her your fire, show her your grit
Show her a new face

[CAROLINE]
And what?
Then do what?

[DOTTY]
Call the Gellmans and quit

[CAROLINE]
And then my three childrens can beg for they feed
Dot, I need-
Dot
It too late

[DOTTY]
I never seen you so sad
We known each other all thеse years
Caroline, my hеart bleed for you
But folk can't just surrender to their fears
I know it hurt to change
It actually hurts
Learning something new
And when you full-grown, it's harder, that's true
It feel like you got to break yourself apart
It feel like you got to break your own heart
But folk do it
They do
Every day, all the time
Alone, afraid
Folk like you
You got to let go of where you been
You got to move on from this place you're in
Don't drown in that basement
Change or sink
Let go, forget, move on
This ain't time for prayin'
You got to think
[CAROLINE]
I'm going to Church now
And I'm going to pray
And from now on
Only God hear what I have to say
'Cause only God can hear what my heart mean to state
When I talk to people, all that comes out is hate
Cause I hate
That all
I hate
I know what I'm doin, Dot
I don't need nothing from you
I want you to go
Out my yard
We through

[DOTTY]
I heard that
Take care
I'll get out of your hair
You go on and pray
Tell God Dotty say hey
Tell Him I'm doin' perfectly fine
Sure is a pleasant mornin'
Mornin', Caroline
