And The Gods Heard Her Prayer / Rain Lyrics by Once On This Island (Broadway Revival)

Once On This Island (Broadway Revival Cast Recording)

2018

[STORYTELLER (Man 2)] (spoken)
And the gods heard her prayer.
[ASAKA]
The peasant girl wants a grandhomme to carry her away! I should...
[ASAKA] (sung)
FIND A TREE ALL COVERED WITH MANGOS
JUICY MANGOS, FAT AND WELL-FED—
PICK A MANGO—
[AGWÉ]
A JUICY MANGO
[ERZULIE]
A LOVELY MANGO
[PAPA GE]
A POISON MANGO—
[ASAKA]
DROP THE MANGO...
[GODS] (spoken)
Boom!
[ASAKA] (sung)
AND KNOCK SOME SENSE IN HER HEAD!
[ERZULIE, AGWÉ, & PAPA GE]
AND KNOCK SOME SENSE IN HER HEAD!
[AGWÉ]
SPLASH HER WITH A WAVE!
[PAPA GE]
SCARE HER HALF TO DEATH!
[ERZULIE]
GIVE HER WHAT SHE WANTS!
[ASAKA, AGWÉ, & PAPA GE]
GIVE HER WHAT SHE...?
[ERZULIE]
GIVE HER WHAT SHE WANTS
LOVE HAS MANY POWERS
IF THE LOVE IS TRUE
IT CAN CROSS THE EARTH AND WITHSTAND THE STORM
IT CAN CONQUER EVEN YOU
[PAPA GE] (spoken)
Love conquer death? Why, I could stop her heart like that!
[ERZULIE]
Stop her heart from beating, yes. But not from loving. Not if love is what she chooses.
[PAPA GE]
Ridiculous!
[AGWÉ]
Interesting!
[ASAKA]
More amusing than mangos!
[ALL (except TI MOUNE, DANIEL, & GODS)] (sung)
LA LA LA LA LA...
[GODS] (spoken)
A journey!
[ALL (except TI MOUNE, DANIEL, & GODS)] (sung)
LA LA LA LA LA...
[ERZULIE]
I WILL GIVE HER STRENGTH
WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT
[ASAKA]
I WILL GUIDE HER WAY
[PAPA]
I WILL MAKE HER CHOOSE!
[AGWÉ]
AND I'LL PROVIDE THE PLACE
WHERE TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS WILL MEET TONIGHT!
[ERZULIE, PAPA GE, ASAKA, & AGWÉ] (spoken)
Tonight!
[AGWÉ] (sung)
LET THERE BE NO MOON
LET THE CLOUDS RACE BY
WHERE THE ROAD MEETS THE SEA
LET THE TIDE BE HIGH
LET THERE BE A GIRL
WALKING BY THE SEA
AND LET THERE BE...
[PAPA GE, & STORYTELLERS (Women)]
RAIN!
[STORYTELLERS (Mama Euralie, & Women)]
RAIN!
[AGWÉ]
LISTEN TO HER PRAYERS
FULL OF HOPE AND PAIN
AS SHE STARES DOWN THE ROAD
IN THE POURING RAIN
[ALL STORYTELLERS]
RAIN
[AGWÉ]
RAIN ON THE ROAD
RAIN ON HER FACE—
RAIN MAKES A ROAD
SUCH A DANGEROUS PLACE...
[AGWÉ, & (ALL STORYTELLERS (except TI MOUNE, & DANIEL)]
LET THERE BE A CAR (LET THERE BE A CAR)
RACING THROUGH THE NIGHT (RACING THROUGH THE NIGHT)
WHERE THE ROAD MEETS THE SEA
LET HER WAIT!
WHERE THE ROAD MEETS THE SEA
LET HIM SPIN!
WHERE THE ROAD MEETS THE SEA
LET THEIR FATE...
BEGIN IN THE...
[AGWÉ, & STORYTELLERS (Men)]
RAIN! RAIN!
RAIN! RAIN!
