Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty,
Once On This Island
The courage of a dreamer
The innocence of youth
The failures and the foolishness
That lead us to the truth
The hopes that make us happy
The hopes that don't come true
And all the love there ever was
I see this all in you
You are part
Part of the human heart
You are part
Of all who took the journey
And managed to endure
The ones who knew such tenderness
The ones who felt so sure
The ones who came before you
The others yet to come
And those who you will teach it to
And those you learned it from Chorus
This is the gift I give
Through your love you'll live
Forever...
You are part
Part of the
Human heart
