Sheila Gibbs, Ellis E. Williams & La Chanze -
Once on This Island (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Ti Moune
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
(Mama & Tonton)
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
(Talking)
(Ti Moune)
What I am you made me
What you gave I owe
But if I look back
I'll never go
Who knows high those mountains climb?
(Mama & Tonton)
Who knows how high those moutains 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
(Mama & Tonton)
You know where we'll be
(Ti Moune)
Always there with me
(All)
Ti Moune
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
(Mama & Tonton)
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
(Talking)
(Ti Moune)
What I am you made me
What you gave I owe
But if I look back
I'll never go
Who knows high those mountains climb?
(Mama & Tonton)
Who knows how high those moutains 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
(Mama & Tonton)
You know where we'll be
(Ti Moune)
Always there with me
(All)
