A Part of Us Lyrics by Stephen Flaherty

Once On This Island (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

0

(Finally, Mama Euralie appears with the storytellers, the Little Girl, and Tonton.)
MAMA
Oh, Ti Moune
Oh, Ti Moune
You will always be a part of us
Oh, Ti Moune
LITTLE TI MOUNE
Oh, Ti Moune
Oh, Ti Moune
MAMA, LITTLE TI MOUNE, TONTON
You will always be a part of us
Oh, Ti Moune
TONTON & STORYTELLERS
Oh, Ti Moune
Oooh, oooh
MAMA, LITTLE TI MOUNE, TONTON
Oh, Ti Moune
ALL
You will always
Be a part of us
Oh, Ti Moune
ASAKA (Spoken)
Now the gods began to cry- tears of compassion for the orphan Ti Moune, Who proved that love could withstand the storm, cross the earth, and survive even in the face of death
(The four gods step forward from the group, and pass Ti Moune from hand to hand, pantomiming her death.)
ALL (BUT TI MOUNE)
Erzulie took her by the hand
And led her to the sea
Where Agwe wrapped her in a wave
And laid her to her rest
And Papa Ge was gentle
As he carried her to shore
And Asaka accepted her
And held her to her breast
Held her to her breast
(Asaka carries Ti Moune upstage and places her on the ground. The rest of the storytellers surround her, hiding her from view.)
Oh, Ti Moune
MAMA (Spoken)
And then the gods blessed her and transformed her into...
ALL (BUT TI MOUNE)
A tree!
(We are in 1999, the last year of the twentieth century. Ti Moune is resurrected and lifted high above everyone else and becomes a glorious tree! We see the garden, the chickens, and the goats again.)
