New Broadway Cast of Once On This Island
Forever Yours (Reprise)
[ALL (EXCEPT TI MOUNE, GODS, DANIEL)]
Hmm oo
[PAPA GE]
There were promises
Made in the darkness
Promises made in your sleep
Promises the gods
Demand you keep!
You gave him love
Love he would soon betray!
You gave him life
I am the price you’ll pay!
Sure as the grave
You must accept what is...
Now your life is
Forever mine...
[TI MOUNE, spoken]
Please, don’t
[PAPA GE, spoken]
Trade yours for his!
[TI MOUNE, spoken]
What?
[PAPA GE, spoken]
You saved him. You loved him. And he betrayed you. Why should you die for him now? Kill him, Ti Moune
[STORYTELLERS (MAMA, ANDREA, TONTON, MEN, WOMEN)]
Kill him... Kill him...
[PAPA GE, spoken]
Kill the love you feel for him. Prove that death is stronger than love and you can have your own life again. Just as if you had never loved at all
[PAPA GE]
I am the road leading to no return
[ERZULIE]
The courage of a dreamer
[PAPA GE]
Secret of life finally his to learn
[ERZULIE]
You are part
[PAPA GE]
I am the car racing toward distant shores...
[ERZULIE
Part of the human heart
[PAPA GE]
Now his life is forever mine...
[ALL (EXCEPT TI MOUNE, DANIEL)]
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
[ERZULIE]
Forever
[PAPA GE]
Forever
