One Small Girl - Once on This Island Ensemble/Sheila Gibbs/Afi McClendon/Ellis E. Williams[00:00:00]

Written by：Stephen Flaherty/Lynn Ahrens[00:00:02]

Once on this there was terrible storm[00:00:08]

Many huts washed away[00:00:11]

Many peasants drowned by Agwe's angry waters[00:00:13]

But one small girl caught his attention[00:00:17]

And she was spared[00:00:23]

An orphan plucked from the flood by Agwe[00:00:24]

Sheltered in a tree by Asaka[00:00:27]

And sent on a journey by the gods[00:00:30]

A journey that would test the strength of love[00:00:33]

Against the power of death[00:00:36]

On this island of two different worlds[00:00:38]

One small girl[00:00:48]

In a tree[00:00:51]

Torn from her mother[00:00:54]

Crying in fright[00:00:56]

One small girl[00:00:58]

Tossed by sea[00:01:01]

And left to face[00:01:03]

The stormy night[00:01:05]

Once small girl[00:01:08]

Holding tight[00:01:13]

At last the storm subsided[00:01:18]

And the morning sun glowed[00:01:23]

And two old peasants[00:01:27]

Came cautiously[00:01:32]

Down the road[00:01:34]

Mama euralie[00:01:37]

Tonton julian[00:01:40]

Asaka is smiling again julian[00:01:43]

This morning she smiles last night she tried[00:01:46]

To blow our heads off[00:01:50]

Ah julian just listen to the birds[00:01:51]

Coo coo coo coo coo[00:01:54]

Coo coo coo coo coo[00:01:56]

Aaaahh[00:02:01]

What kind of bird is that[00:02:03]

Look there[00:02:06]

One small face[00:02:08]

Two small knees[00:02:10]

Why are you up there[00:02:13]

What is your name[00:02:15]

The girl can't speak[00:02:22]

And they're to blame[00:02:25]

Agwe probably meant to kill her[00:02:27]

The she'd be dead[00:02:30]

It's possible he forgot[00:02:32]

The god's don't forget[00:02:35]

Then they had some reason to spare her life[00:02:37]

It's best that we don't know what[00:02:41]

One small girl[00:02:49]

Better not[00:02:54]

But we are too old for children[00:03:00]

We have no room and no food[00:03:04]

And not knowing why they followed[00:03:09]

Their hearts back to the tree gently lifted[00:03:11]

The terrified child down[00:03:14]

Nooo[00:03:15]

And discovered that she could speak after all[00:03:17]

One small girl[00:03:21]

In the way[00:03:23]

Constantly hungry[00:03:25]

Learning too quick[00:03:28]

One small girl[00:03:30]

Hard at play[00:03:33]

She makes me smile[00:03:35]

She scares me sick[00:03:37]

And they scolded and teased[00:03:40]

And held her[00:03:41]

And mended the clothes she tore[00:03:44]

And the hut was crowded[00:03:48]

And food was scarce[00:03:51]

And somehow their lives held more[00:03:54]

One small girl[00:04:01]

To live for[00:04:05]

They named her desiree dieu-donne or[00:04:08]

God given desire but in their affection they[00:04:11]

Simply called her ti moune[00:04:14]

What does ti moune mean mama[00:04:15]

It means little orphan saved by the gods for[00:04:17]

Something special[00:04:20]

What is it[00:04:21]

Ti moune if we knew why the gods did the[00:04:22]

Things they do we would be gods ourselves[00:04:25]

Someday I'm going to ask them mama[00:04:28]

Sweet as a eucalyptus[00:04:31]

And terrible as a tempest[00:04:32]

Banging a drum[00:04:35]

And humming a tune[00:04:36]

Ti moune[00:04:40]

Falling[00:04:41]

And running[00:04:42]

And calling[00:04:43]

And growing[00:04:45]

And growing[00:04:46]

And growing[00:04:47]

And growing[00:04:48]

Up too soon[00:04:50]

One small girl[00:04:55]

Not so small[00:04:58]

Lost in those daydreams[00:05:00]

Day after day[00:05:02]

Call her name[00:05:05]

No don't call[00:05:07]

Her ears[00:05:09]

Don't hear[00:05:10]

She's far away[00:05:12]

And I know that[00:05:14]

She's getting older[00:05:15]

I know that it's[00:05:19]

Meant to be[00:05:20]

And my arms[00:05:23]

Can't hold her[00:05:25]

And keep her small[00:05:26]

But all that my[00:05:28]

Heart can see[00:05:30]

Is one small girl[00:05:36]

One small girl[00:05:38]

One small girl[00:05:39]

One small girl[00:05:41]

One small girl[00:05:43]

One small girl[00:05:44]

One small girl[00:05:46]

In[00:05:56]

Ooh ooh way ooh[00:06:05]
