Mama Will Provide

But on this island, the earth sings

As soon as the storm ends

And as Ti Moune set out, she realized

She was walking with old friends

The birds, coo-coo, coo-coo, coo, coo, coo

Coo-coo, coo-coo, coo, coo, coo

Sha, sha-sha, the trees

Sha-sha, sha-sha

Bum, bum, bum, the frogs

Badum, bum, bum

And the breezes

Ooh, ooh

Ti Moune lost all her fear

She knew Asaka was near her

You've never been away from the sea, child

You're gonna need a helping hand

A fish has got to learn to swim on land

Walk with me, little girl, don't you be afraid

Follow me, little girl, let me be your guide

Oh, a pretty thing like you will need a thing or two

And whatever you need, mama will provide

Oh, mama will

Down the road, little girl, you may lose your way

All alone in a world that may seem too wide

But sit on mama's lap, and I will draw a map

And whatever you need, mama will provide

Whatever you need, oh

I'll provide you

Moss to soften the road

Rocks to sit on

Trees to sleep underneath

Sand, fun for your toes

Plantain to fill up your belly

Breeze to fan your face

Grass for making your bed

Mosquitos?

Ha

Bugs will bite, little girl, and the night will fall (Mama, mama)

All alone in the dark, you'll be terrified (Mama, mama)

But you will make it through 'cause I am liking you

And whatever you need, mama will provide

Whatever you need, oh-oh

Uh-huh, yeah

Mama will provide (Hey)

Mama will provide

Hey-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah

Mama will provide

I'm gonna provide, yeah, whoa

Walk with me, little girl, and I'll take you far

'Round each bend, little friend, I'll be by your side

That's what a mama's worth, to give her child the earth

And whatever you need, mama will

Whatever you need

Mama will, mama will

Mama will

Oh, mama will provide

Oh
