A Whole New World
Aladin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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 horrizons to pursue)
Every moment red letter
Both:
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
Aladdin:
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)
Both:
For you and me

They sing about how being together in this new world is a red-letter moment and every turn comes with surprises and new horizons to pursue.
