Kecia Lewis - Mama Will Provide Lyrics


(Song Mama Will Provide lyrics from "Once on this Island" musical)

But on this island the earth sings
As soon as the storm ends
And as Ti Moune set out she realized
She was walking with old friends

The birds
Coo coo, coo coo, coo coo coo
Coo coo, coo coo, coo coo coo
Sha, sha, sha-aah

The trees, sha, sha, sha-aah
Ba-oom, boom, boom, the frogs
Ba-oom, boom, boom and the breezes

Ooh, ooh

Ti Moune lost all her fear
She knew Asaka was near

You've never been away from the sea, child
You're gonna need a helping hand
A fish has got to learn to swim on land

Walk with me, little girl, don't you be afraid
Follow me, little girl, let me be your guide
A pretty thing like you will need a thing or two
And whatever you need, mama will provide

Oh, down the road, little girl
You may lose your way
All alone in a world
That may seem too wide

But sit on mama's lap
And I will draw a map
And whatever you need, mama will provide

And whatever you need
Mama will provide

I'll provide you storyteller Moss
To soften the road
Rocks to sit on
Trees to sleep underneath

Sand, fun for your toes
Plantain to fill up your belly
Breeze to fan your face
Grass for making your bed

Ha, bug will bite little girl
And the night will fall
All alone in the dark
You'll be terrified

But you will make it through
'Cause I am liking you
And whatever you need, mama will provide

Oh, walk with me, little girl
And I'll take you far
Round each bend, little friend
I'll be by your side

That's what a mama's worth
To give her child the earth
And whatever you need
Mama will provide
