Musical: Once On This Island
Song: Forever Yours
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 god’s 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

BOTH
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 the night
Leasds to a sky of blue
Sure as my heart
Leads 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!

PAPA GE
Mine!
Arrogant fool
Think you can hold back death!

TI MOUNE
Stay Away!

PAPA GE
This boy is mine
I am his dying breath

TI MOUNE
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
Take mine for his!

PAPA GE
What?

TI MOUNE
Take my life…
My soul… for his

STORYTELLERS
OOOH

PAPA GE
I am the road
Leading to
No return

STORYTELLERS
OOOH

TI MOUNE
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
And I am yours

One of my favorites on the musical we’re about to do this summer.

Surely, listening to it or even just reading it stuns me.

It’s about a love from the very fresh start. Yet a love that is ready to offer what it all has.

That’s how you love. You don’t know what things are in store for you or how bad they could be. And you don’t really bother to care or worry. Because at that moment the feeling just captivates you that it seems to go beyond all your senses. Your mind most importantly.

However.. right now, I learned that a person must indeed pause for a moment and use his mind, in loving. And not only the feeling that the heart is giving. Because when it gets to the point that you would need to give up all you have, there’s no turning back. You would choose whether you would take it OR leave all of it behind. Including almost all your life.
