lyrics
PAULINE
What if you had your father’s strength? Who would you be? What if….(sigh), I’m so excited little one, and I just can’t wait to see
Who would you be?
Who would you be?
My love, who would you be?
Who could you be?
And I’ll love you
And I can’t wait to see
Oh, my love
If you had your father’s heart
Steady and strong,
To climb every mountain,
Meet every challenge
Then yours is the Earth, my love
Who would you be?
Who would you be?
My love, who would you be?
Who would you be?
And I’ll love you
Patrice!
PAULINE/LUMUMBA
And we can’t wait to see
FABIOLA
Oh, my Prince
If you had your father’s eyes
Gentle and kind,
For you our people will rise,
Courage we will find
Come to this Earth, my love
FABIOLA
Who would you be?
who would you be?
My love, who would you be?
Who would you be?
FABIOLA/BAUDOUIN
And we’ll love you
And we can’t wait to see

Who would you be?
who would you be?
My love,

BELGIAN DOCTOR
My Queen…
FABIOLA
Yes, Doctor? How is everything?
(happy)
BELGIAN DOCTOR
Well let's see here…let’s check in on the little one.
(beat)
Oh…uh…my queen, I don’t hear anything
FABIOLA
What do you mean…
What do you mean…Doctor?
BELGIAN DOCTOR
My Queen…I’m sorry…it appears as if the little Prince didn’t make it.
FABIOLA
Is…Isn’t there anything you can do?
BELGIAN DOCTOR
My queen…I wish I could. But I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do.
