Once on This Island (New Broadway Cast Recording)
Ti Moune
I must go to him
His heart beats for me like a drum
The gods are dancing for me, Mama
Please, Mama
Please, Tonton
Give me your blessing and let me go
I will go
What can I say to stop you now?
Now that you've heard your drum
And seen your dancers?
Now that you think your heart has all the answers?
Who knows how high those mountains fly?
Who knows how deep those rivers flow?
Who knows how wrong a dream can go?
Ti Moune
I won't be there to guide your way
To braid your hair
Or dry your tears
As we have done this many years
Ti Moune, Ti Moune
What you are we made you
What we gave you took
Now you run without one backward view
You'll find some other boy to save
Some other life that you can share
Your heart is young
New dreams are everywhere
Chose your dreams with care, Ti Moune
But I have chosen
And my dreams are down that road
You're a child, Ti Moune
The road is hard and dangerous
The city is miles away
And even if you get there
Even if you get to the Hotel Beauxhomme
You will never get through the gate
I will get there, Tonton!
I will get through the gate
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?
Who knows how deeps those rivers flow?
I know he's there
That's all I need to know
Go and find your love
Go and swim the sea
You know where we'll be
Always there with me
Ti Moune
His heart beats for me like a drum
The gods are dancing for me, Mama
Please, Mama
Please, Tonton
Give me your blessing and let me go
I will go
What can I say to stop you now?
Now that you've heard your drum
And seen your dancers?
Now that you think your heart has all the answers?
Who knows how high those mountains fly?
Who knows how deep those rivers flow?
Who knows how wrong a dream can go?
Ti Moune
I won't be there to guide your way
To braid your hair
Or dry your tears
As we have done this many years
Ti Moune, Ti Moune
What you are we made you
What we gave you took
Now you run without one backward view
You'll find some other boy to save
Some other life that you can share
Your heart is young
New dreams are everywhere
Chose your dreams with care, Ti Moune
But I have chosen
And my dreams are down that road
You're a child, Ti Moune
The road is hard and dangerous
The city is miles away
And even if you get there
Even if you get to the Hotel Beauxhomme
You will never get through the gate
I will get there, Tonton!
I will get through the gate
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?
Who knows how deeps those rivers flow?
I know he's there
That's all I need to know
Go and find your love
Go and swim the sea
You know where we'll be
Always there with me
Ti Moune
