 Send Once on This Island soundtrack "Why We Tell The Story" Ringtones to your Cell  (spoken) A tree that sprang up and cracked the walls of the hotel Beauxhomme So that its 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 sat in the shade of the tree He noticed a beautiful young peasant girl high in the branches Looking out at the world And the spirit of Ti Moune touched their hearts And set them free to love (sung) 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 Why we tell the story Why we tell the story Why we tell the story If you listen very hard you hear her call us To come share with her our laughter and our tears And there's mysteries and miracles befall us Through the years We tell the story 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 We tell the story Why we tell the story Why we tell the story Why 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 And forgive For all the ones we leave And we believe Our lives become The stories that we weave (spoken) There is an island Where the rivers run deep Where the seas sparkling in the sun Earns it the name Jewel of the Antilles An island where the poorest of peasants live And the wealthiest of grand homme play And on this island… We tell the story. (sung) We tell the story |
