(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 signThat 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 death!


[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
