(Ti Moune cradles Daniel in her arms.)
[TI MOUNE]
Sure as a wave
Needs to be near the shore
You are the one
I was intended for
Deep in your eyes
I saw the gods' design
Now my life is forever yours
And you are mine
I am a tree
Holding away the storm
Here in my arms
I'll keep you safe and warm
Even the gods
Won't dare to cross this line
Where my life is forever yours [TI MOUNE]
And you are mine... [DANIEL]
And you are mine (Behind a scrim, a healthy Daniel appears, as if in Ti Moune's mind.)
[TI MOUNE & DANIEL]
Mine...
We'll race away in a car
As silver as the moon
And the storn will turn to sun
On an island where the earth and sea
Are one...
Sure as this night
Leads to a sky of blue
Sure as my heart
Led me to be with you
Surely the gods
Meant this to be a sign That my life is forever yours
And you are mine... [PAPA GE]
...Mine! (Suddenly, in place of the imaginary Daniel, Papa Ge appears.)
[PAPA GE]
Mine!
Arrogant fool
Think you can hold back d**h!
[TI MOUNE, spoken]
Stay away!
[PAPA GE]
This boy is mine
I am his dying breath
[TI MOUNE, spoken]
I won't let you have him!
[PAPA GE]
Sure as the grave
You must accept what is
Now his life is forever mine...
[TI MOUNE, spoken]
Take mine for his!
[PAPA GE, spoken]
What?
[TI MOUNE, spoken]
Take my life...
(sung)
My soul... for his
[PAPA GE]
I am the road
Leading to no return
[TI MOUNE, spoken]
I would die for him!
[PAPA GE]
Secret of life
Nobody wants to learn
I am the car
Racing toward distant shores
[TI MOUNE]
Now his life is forever mine...
[PAPA GE]
Your life is forever mine...
(Ti Moune's focus returns to the prone boy in her arms.)
[TI MOUNE]
And I am yours
