Once on This Island - The Human Heart Lyrics

Broadway production (1990)
Once on This Island the Musical - The Human Heart Lyrics

(Music by Stephen Flaherty and Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens)

[ERZULIE]
The courage of a dreamer
The innocence of youth
The failures and the foolishness
That lead us to the truth

[ERZULIE]
The hopes that
Make us happy

[STORYTELLERS]
The hopes that
Make us happy

[ERZULIE]
The hopes that
Don't come true
And all the love
There ever was

[STORYTELLERS]
And all the love
There ever was

[ERZULIE]
I see this all
In you
You are part
Part of the
Human heart

[STORYTELLERS]
You are part
Part of the
Human heart

[ERZULIE]
You are part

[STORYTELLER]
You are part

[ERZULIE, STORYTELLERS]
You are part

[ERZULIE]
Of all who took the journey
And managed to endure
The ones who knew such tenderness
The ones who felt so sure

[ERZULIE]
The ones who
Came before you

[STORYTELLERS]
The ones who
Came before you

[ERZULIE]
The others yet
To come
And those who
You will teach
It to

[STORYTELLERS]
And those who
You will teach
It to

[ERZULIE]
And those you
Learned it from
You are part
Part of the
Human heart

[STORYTELLERS]
You are part
Part of the
Human heart

[ERZULIE]
You are part

[STORYTELLER]
You are part

[ERZULIE, STORYTELLERS]
You are part

[ERZULIE]
This is the gift I give
Through your love you'll live
Forever...

[ERZULIE]
Forever

[STORYTELLERS]
You are part
Part of the
Human heart
Forever

[ERZULIE]
You are part

[STORYTELLER]
You are part

[ERZULIE, STORYTELLERS]
You are part
Tonight
Tonight

[ERZULIE]
Part of the human...

[ERZULIE, STORYTELLERS]
Heart.
