Why We Tell the Story

A tree that sprang up!
 And cracked the walls of the hotel beauxhomme
 So that it's gates could never close again!
 A tree that lived forever!
 Sheltering peasant and grand homme alike!
 A tree that watched over Daniel for his lifetime!
 A tree in which his children played!
 And one day, as Daniel's young son played in the tree
 He noticed a beautiful young peasant girl, high in the branches
 Looking out at the world
 And the spirit of Ti Moone touched their hearts and set them free to love!
 And she stands against the lightning and the thunder
 And she shelters and protects us from above
 And she fills us with the power and the wonder
 of her love...
 And this is why we tell the story!
 Wh-y we tell the story
 Why we tell the story
 Wh-y we tell the story
 If you listen very close you'll hear her call us
 To come share with her our laughter and our tears!
 And the mysteries and Miracles that befall us
 Through the years...
 We tell the story!
 Life is why
 We tell the story!
 Pain is why
 We tell the story!
 Love is why
 We tell the story!
 Grief is why
 We tell the story!
 Hope is why
 We tell the story!
 Faith is why
 We tell the story!
 You are why
 Why we tell the story
 Wh-y we tell the story
 Why we tell the story
 Wh-y we tell the story
 So I hope that you will tell this tale tomorrow
 It will help your heart remember and relive
 It will help you feel the anger and the sorrow
 Ti-Moone: And, forgive!
 
 For what do we live and we believe?
 Our lives become
 The stories that
 We weave
 Peasant Girl: There is an Island
 Where Rivers run deep
 Where the sea, sparkling in the sun, earns it the name
 Jewel of the Antilles!
 Where the poorest of Peasants labor
 And the Wealthiest of Grand Hommes play
 And on this island,
 We tell the story.
