《Why We Tell the Story》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:28] We tell the story

[00:01:30] We tell the story

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:20] We tell the story
