Once on This Island - Ti Moune Lyrics |
Broadway production (1990) Once on This Island the Musical - Ti Moune Lyrics
(Music by Stephen Flaherty and Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens)
[MAMA] What can I say to stop you now Now that you've heard your drums And seen your dancers Now that you think your heart has All the answers... Who knows how high Those mountains climb Who knows how deep Those rivers flow Who knows how wrong A dream can go Ti Moune
[TONTON] I won't be there to guide your way
[MAMA] To braid your hair or dry your tears
[BOTH] As we have done these many years Ti Moune Ti Moune
[TONTON] What you are, we made you What we gave, you took Now you run without One backward look
[MAMA] You'll find some other boy to save Some other life that you can share Your heart is young New dreams are everywhere Choose your dreams with care Ti Moune
[TI MOUNE (spoken)] But I have chosen, Mama, I'm not a child any longer. What I am, you made me What you gave, I owe But, if I look back, I'll never go Who knows how high Those mountains climb
[MAMA, TONTON] Who knows how high Those mountains climb
[TI MOUNE] Who knows how deep Those rivers flow
[MAMA, TONTON] Who knows how deep Those rivers flow
[TI MOUNE] I know he's there That's all I need to know...
[TONTON] Go and find your love
[MAMA] Go and swim the sea
[BOTH] You know where we'll be
[TI MOUNE] Always there with me...
[ALL THREE] Ti Moune
[Thanks to Dani Starr for lyrics]
