Mama Will Provide
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
The trees
The frogs
And the breezes
Ti Moune lost all her fears
She knew Asaka was near her
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
Oh, a pretty thing like you
Will need a thing or two
And whatever you need
Mama will provide
Down the road, little girl
You may lose your way
All alone in a world that may seem to wide
But sit on Mama's lap
And I will draw a map
And whatever you need
Mama will provide
I'll provide you
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
Mosquitoes
Ha!
Bugs will bite, little girl
And the night will fall
All alone in the dark you'll get terrified
But you will make it through
'Cause I am liking you
And whatever you need
Mama will provide
Mama will provide
Mama will provide
Mama will provide
I wanna provide, yeah
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
Mama will
Mama will
Mama will
Oh, mama will
Provide!
As soon as the storm ends
And as Ti Moune set out
She realized she was walking with old friends
The birds
