Why We Tell the Story - Once on This Island Ensemble[00:00:00]

A tree that sprang up and cracked the walls of the hotel Beauxhomme[00:00:01]

So that its gates could never close again[00:00:04]

A tree that lived forever sheltering peasant and grand homme alike[00:00:07]

A tree that watched over Daniel for his lifetime[00:00:11]

A tree in which his children played[00:00:15]

And one day as Daniel's young son sat in the shade of the tree[00:00:17]

He noticed a beautiful young peasant girl high in the branches[00:00:21]

Looking out at the world[00:00:26]

And the spirit of Ti Moune touched their hearts[00:00:27]

And set them free to love[00:00:30]

And she stands against the lightning and the thunder[00:00:35]

And she shelters and protects us from above[00:00:40]

And she fills us with the power and the wonder of her love[00:00:44]

And this is why we tell the story[00:00:52]

Why we tell the story[00:00:57]

Why we tell the story[00:01:02]

Why we tell the story[00:01:06]

If you listen very hard you hear her call us[00:01:10]

To come share with her our laughter and our tears[00:01:15]

And there's mysteries and miracles befall us through the years[00:01:20]

We tell the story[00:01:28]

We tell the story[00:01:30]

Life is why we tell the story[00:01:31]

Pain is why we tell the story[00:01:34]

Love is why we tell the story[00:01:36]

Grief is why we tell the story[00:01:38]

Hope is why we tell the story[00:01:40]

Faith is why we tell the story[00:01:42]

You are why we tell the story[00:01:45]

Why we tell the story[00:01:53]

Why we tell the story[00:01:58]

Why we tell the story[00:02:02]

So I hope that you will tell this tale tomorrow[00:02:06]

It will help your heart remember and relive[00:02:11]

It will help you feel the anger and the sorrow and forgive[00:02:15]

For all what we leave and we believe[00:02:25]

Our lives become the stories that we leave[00:02:34]

There is an island where the rivers run deep[00:02:50]

Where the seas sparkling in the sun[00:02:55]

Earns it the name Jewel of the Antilles[00:02:59]

An island where the poorest of peasants live[00:03:04]

And the wealthiest of grand homme play[00:03:09]

And on this island we tell the story[00:03:14]

We tell the story[00:03:20]
