Pirate Queen movie - The Choice is Mine lyrics
rate meSong by Original Broadway Cast<br /><br>
DUBHDARA<br>
All the clans of Ireland<br>
Are bogged down in ancient fueds<br>
<br>
DONAL<br>
Like the feuds your kinsmen once began<br>
<br>
CHIEFTAN O'FLAHERTY<br>
Donal!<br>
<br>
DUBHDARA<br>
Yes! And so the Queen of England<br>
Sees us and concludes<br>
We're too weak to fight her empire's plan<br>
<br>
And so my friend, we must put old claims asside<br>
And join as one, a course that's never been tried<br>
<br>
CHIEFTON O'FLAHERTY<br>
We must, but how?<br>
That would call for trust<br>
No trust have I<br>
<br>
DUBHDARA<br>
Nor I<br>
<br>
CHIEFTON O'FLAHERTY<br>
You know, as I,<br>
How this work is done<br>
You have a daughter,<br>
And I have a son<br>
These two must wed<br>
And when there's an heir<br>
Then two warring clans<br>
Will at last be one<br>
<br>
GRACE<br>
Father, I know well what kind of victory this shows<br>
Tell me, was my fate just sealed for me?<br>
If you do accept this marriage union they propose<br>
I must give up Tiernan and the sea<br>
I fought so hard<br>
<br>
DUBHDARA<br>
You are selfless in war<br>
<br>
GRACE<br>
To carve a life that's mine<br>
<br>
DUBHDARA<br>
Give yourself like a man<br>
<br>
GRACE<br>
I love my land<br>
<br>
DUBHDARA<br>
But this fight calls for more<br>
<br>
GRACE<br>
Where Do I draw the line?<br>
<br>
DUBHDARA AND GRACE<br>
Who'll sacrifice<br>
To become one clan?<br>
<br>
DUBHDARA<br>
A man cannot<br>
A woman can<br>
<br>
GRACE<br>
(spoken)<br>
Tiernan; please!<br>
(sung)<br>
The choice is mine<br>
But I cannot refuse<br>
It's cruel, the path<br>
We are now forced to choose<br>
<br>
TIERNAN<br>
In the name of God!<br>
This you cannot do!<br>
<br>
GRACE<br>
Tiernan - this must be<br>
But my love still is you<br>
<br>
TIERNAN<br>
(spoken)<br>
Grace! You promised yourself to me! Does that mean nothing to you?<br>
<br>
DUBHDARA<br>
(spoken)<br>
Tiernan, it must be so.<br>
<br>
GRACE<br>
In this time of war<br>
Two small lives must yield<br>
<br>
Tiernan!<br>
<br>
Our clan accepts -<br>
Let the bond be sealed<br>
<br>
