Ti Moune Lyrics - Once On This Island Soundtrack

MAMA
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

BOTH
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

TI MOUNE (Spoken)
But I have chosen, Mama, 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

MAMA, TONTON
Who knows how high
Those mountains 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

BOTH
You know where we'll be

TI MOUNE
Always there with me...

ALL THREE
Ti Moune
