Once on This Island movie - Ti Moune lyrics

<br>

[MAMA]<br>

What can I say to stop you now<br>

Now that you've heard your drums<br>

And seen your dancers<br>

Now that you think your heart has<br>

All the answers...<br>

<br>

Who knows how high <br>

Those mountains climb<br>

Who knows how deep<br>

Those rivers flow<br>

Who knows how wrong<br>

A dream can go<br>

Ti Moune<br>

<br>

[TONTON]<br>

I won't be there to guide your way<br>

<br>

[MAMA]<br>

To braid your hair or dry your tears<br>

<br>

[BOTH]<br>

As we have done these many years<br>

Ti Moune <br>

Ti Moune<br>

<br>

[TONTON]<br>

What you are, we made you<br>

What we gave, you took<br>

Now you run without<br>

One backward look<br>

<br>

[MAMA]<br>

You'll find some other boy to save<br>

Some other life that you can share<br>

Your heart is young<br>

New dreams are everywhere<br>

Choose your dreams with care<br>

Ti Moune<br>

<br>

[TI MOUNE (Spoken)]<br>

But I have chosen, Mama, I'm not a child <br>

any longer.<br>

<br>

What I am, you made me<br>

What you gave, I owe<br>

But, if I look back, I'll never go<br>

<br>

Who knows how high <br>

Those mountains climb<br>

<br>

[MAMA, TONTON]<br>

Who knows how high <br>

Those mountains climb<br>

<br>

[TI MOUNE]<br>

Who knows how deep<br>

Those rivers flow<br>

<br>

[MAMA, TONTON]<br>

Who knows how deep<br>

Those rivers flow<br>

<br>

[TI MOUNE]<br>

I know he's there<br>

That's all I need to know...<br>

<br>

[TONTON]<br>

Go and find your love<br>

<br>

[MAMA]<br>

Go and swim the sea<br>

<br>

[BOTH]<br>

You know where we'll be<br>

<br>

[TI MOUNE]<br>

Always there with me...<br>

<br>

[ALL THREE]<br>

Ti Moune<br>

<br>
