New Broadway Cast of Once On This Island
Forever Yours
[TI MOUNE]
Sure as a wave
Needs to be near the shore
You are the one
I was intended for
Deep in your eyes
I saw the gods’ design
Now my life is forever yours
And you are mine
I am a tree
Holding away the storm
Here in my arms
I’ll keep you safe and warm even the gods
Won’t dare to cross this line
Where my life is forever yours
And you are mine
[DANIEL]
And you are mine
[TI MOUNE, DANIEL]
Mine...
We’ll race away in a car as silver as the moon
And the storm will turn to sun
On an island where the earth and sea are one...
Sure as this night
Leads to a sky of blue
Sure as my heart
Led me to be with you
Surely the gods
Meant this to be a sign
That my life is forever yours
And you are...
[PAPA GE]
Mine...
Mine!
Arrogant fool
Think you can hold back death?
[TI MOUNE]
Stay away!
[PAPA GE]
This boy is mine
I am his dying breath!
[TI MOUNE]
I won’t let you have him
[PAPA GE]
Sure as the grave
You must accept what is
Now his life is forever mine...
[TI MOUNE]
Take mine for his!
[PAPA GE]
What?
[TI MOUNE]
Take my life...
My soul... for his
[PAPA GE]
I am the road leading to no return
[TI MOUNE]
I’m not afraid
[PAPA GE]
Secret of life
Nobody wants to learn —
[TI MOUNE]
I would die for him!
[PAPA GE]
I am the car
Racing toward distant shores
[TI MOUNE]
Now his life is forever mine...
[PAPA GE]
Your life is forever mine...
[TI MOUNE]
And I am yours
[ALL (EXCEPT PAPA GE)]
