Discover the story of the song > Mama Will Provide – new broadway cast of once on this island

The lyrics describe an island where the earth sings and the protagonist, Ti Moune, sets out to walk with old friends. The birds, trees, frogs, breezes, and even Mama (represented by the women as birds and Andrea as breezes) all provide what Ti Moune needs on her journey, including a helping hand from Asaka. Asaka promises to be by Ti Moune's side and provide everything she needs, including moss, rocks, trees, sand, plantain, breeze, and grass. Bugs will bite and the night will be scary, but Mama will always provide.
