A Whole New World

- Aladdin (1992)

Aladdin:
I can show you the world..
Shining, shimmering, splendid..
Tell me, Princess, now when did you last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes..
Take you wonder by wonder..
Over, sideways and under..
On a magic carpet ride..
A whole new world..
A new fantastic point of view..
No one to tell us "No."
Or where to go..
Or say we're only dreaming..

Princess Jasmine:
A whole new world..
A dazzling place I never knew..
But when I'm way up here..
It's crystal clear..
That now I'm in a whole new world with you..
(Now I'm in a whole new world with you..)

Unbelievable sights..
Indescribable feeling..
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling..
Through an endless diamond sky..

A whole new world..
(Don't you dare close your eyes..)
A hundred thousand things to see..
(Hold your breath - it gets better..)
I'm like a shooting star..
I've come so far..
I can't go back to where I used to be..

A whole new world..
(Every turn a surprise..)
With new horizons to pursue..
(Every moment red-letter..)
I'll chase them anywhere..
There's time to spare..
Let me share this whole new world with you..

A whole new world..
(A whole new world..)
That's where we'll be..
(That's where we'll be..)
A thrilling chase..
A wondrous place..
For you and me..

Forgetful Perseverance

Man forgets too quickly..
a little too fast..
a little too soon..

erasing memory with each grain of sand..
chosen images will remain embedded..
the decision left to the mindholder..

sitting side by side at a movie..
feeling warm and fuzzy taking a picture..
tasting the saltiness of the sea breeze..

those moonlit dances..
the gentle heat from pretty secure hands..
cuddles before the morning light..

if only more effort was thrown in..
sprinkles of sugar and spice to add to the mundane grey..
life won't be the least bit stale, but surreal..

Part of that world

-The Little Mermaid (1989)

im ready to go exploring other lands..

Look at this stuff, isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm a girl..
The girl who has everything?

Look at this trove, treasures untold..
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around here, you'd think..
Sure, she's got everything..

I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty..
I've got who's-its and what's-its galore..
You want thing-a-mabobs?
I've got twenty..
But who cares? No big deal. I want more..

I wanna be where the people are..
I wanna see, wanna see 'em dancin'..
walkin' around on those..
Whaddya call 'em? Oh, feet..

Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far..
Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'..
Strollin' along down the..
What's that word again? Street..
Up where they walk..
Up where they run..
Up where they stay all day in the sun..
Wanderin' free, wish I could be..
Part of that world..

What would I give if I could live..
Outta these waters?
What would I pay to spend a day..
Warm on the sand?

Betcha on land they understand..
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters..
Bright young women, sick of swimmin'..
Ready to stand..

I'm ready to know what the people know..
Ask 'em my questions and get some answers..
What's a fire, and why does it..
What's the word? Burn..

When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love?
Love to explore that shore up above..
Out of the sea, wish I could be..
Part of that world..
