Ti Moune

I must go to him His heart beats for me like a drum The gods are dancing for me, Mama Please, Mama Please, Tonton Give me your blessing and let me go I will go What can I say to stop you now? Now that you've heard your drum And seen your dancers? Now that you think your heart has all the answers? Who knows how high those mountains fly? Who knows how deep those rivers flow? Who knows how wrong a dream can go? Ti Moune I won't be there to guide your way To braid your hair Or dry your tears As we have done this many years Ti Moune, Ti Moune What you are we made you What we gave you took Now you run without one backward view You'll find some other boy to save Some other life that you can share Your heart is young New dreams are everywhere Chose your dreams with care, Ti Moune But I have chosen And my dreams are down that road You're a child, Ti Moune The road is hard and dangerous The city is miles away And even if you get there Even if you get to the Hotel Beauxhomme You will never get through the gate I will get there, Tonton! I will get through the gate I'm not a child any longer! What I am you made me What you gave I owe But if I look back, I'll never go Who knows how high those mountains climb? Who knows how deeps those rivers flow? I know he's there That's all I need to know Go and find your love Go and swim the sea You know where we'll be Always there with me Ti Moune
