New Broadway Cast of Once On This Island
The Human Heart
[ERZULIE]
Ooh, ooh

The courage of a dreamer
The innocence of youth
The failures and the foolishness
That lead us to the truth

The hopes that make us happy
The hopes that don’t come true
And all the love there ever was:
I see this all in you

You are part
Part of the human heart
Part of the human heart
You are part

[AGWE]
You are part

[ERZULIE]
Of all who took the journey
And managed to endure
The ones who knew such tenderness
The ones who felt so sure
[ALL (EXCEPT TI MOUNE, DANIEL)]
The ones who
Came before you
The others yet to come

And those who you will teach it to
And those you learned it from

[ERZULIE, MAMA, ASAKA, AGWE, STORYTELLERS (WOMEN, MEN)]
You are part
Part of the human heart

[ERZULIE]
You are part--

This is the gift I give
Through your love
You’ll live forever...

Forever...

Forever...
You are part

Tonight
Tonight
Part of the human
[ALL (EXCEPT TI MOUNE, DANIEL)]
