A Whole New World
Disney 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.
Over sideways and under on a magic carpet ride.
A new fantastic point of view.
No one to tell us no or where to go or say we're only dreaming.
A whole new world.
A dazzling place I never knew.
But now from way up here it's crystal clear that now I'm in a whole new world with you.
Unbelievable sights.
Indescribable feeling.
Soaring, tumbling, free-wheeling.
Through an endless diamond sky.
A whole new world.
[Nick:] Don't you dare close your eyes.
[Jessica:] A hundred thousand things to see.
[Nick:] Hold your breath, it gets better.
[Both:] I'm like a shooting star.
I've come so far.
[Jessica:] I can't go back to where I used to be.
([Nick:] A whole new world.)
[Nick:] With new horizons to pursue.
[Both:] I'll chase them anywhere, there's time to spare.
[Nick:] Let me share this whole new world with you.
[Jessica:] Oh a whole new world.
A new fantastic point of view.
[Both:] No one to tell us no or where to go
[Jessica:] or say we're only dreaming.
([Nick:] A whole new world)
(jessica)Every turn a surprise.
[Nick:] With new horizons to pursue.
([Jessica:] Every moment red letter.)
[Both:] I'll chase them anywhere, there's time to spare.
Let me share,
This whole new world with you.
[Nick:] A whole new world.
(jessica)a whole new world.
(nick)thats where well be.
[Jessica:] That's where we'll be.
[nick] A thrilling chase.
[jessica:] A wonderous place.
[Both:] For you and...me.
