Original. Way Back to Paradise lyrics. We are ruled by our brothers. We are ruled by our husbands. We jump at the voices of our masters. And do what they say. We are bartered and traded. Along with cattle and cotton. We have to be beautiful. And it helps to have a dowry of some kind. We have to show humility. And have the presence of mind.
The show transplants to 1890s New Orleans the story of Medea, the sorceress who avenges herself on her faithless lover by killing their children. Early in the first act Marie-Christine sings a wide-ranging and rhythmically invigorating solo, “Way Back to Paradise.”
