Once On This Island - Mama Will Provide Lyrics
But on this island the earth singsAs soon as the storm endsAnd as Ti Moune set out she realizedShe was walking with old friendsThe birdsCoo coo, coo coo, coo coo cooCoo coo, coo coo, coo coo cooSha, sha, sha-aahThe trees, sha, sha, sha-aahBa-oom, boom, boom, the frogsBa-oom, boom, boom and the breezesOoh, oohTi Moune lost all her fearShe knew Asaka was nearYou've never been away from the sea, childYou're gonna need a helping handA fish has got to learn to swim on landWalk with me, little girl, don't you be afraidFollow me, little girl, let me be your guideA pretty thing like you will need a thing or twoAnd whatever you need, mama will provideOh, down the road, little girlYou may lose your wayAll alone in a worldThat may seem too wideBut sit on mama's lapAnd I will draw a mapAnd whatever you need, mama will provideAnd whatever you needMama will provideI'll provide you storyteller MossTo soften the roadRocks to sit onTrees to sleep underneathSand, fun for your toesPlantain to fill up your bellyBreeze to fan your faceGrass for making your bedHa, bug will bite little girlAnd the night will fallAll alone in the darkYou'll be terrifiedBut you will make it through'Cause I am liking youAnd whatever you need, mama will provideOh, walk with me, little girlAnd I'll take you farRound each bend, little friendI'll be by your sideThat's what a mama's worthTo give her child the earthAnd whatever you needMama will provide
