Out Of Thin Air
Disney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You showed me the world when I was all locked up inside
You reached out your hand and took me on
A magic carpet ride
One look at your smile
And I could see the light shining ev'rywhere
People like you don't come out of thin air
Oh Jasmine
You don't understand, there is so much that you don't see
Just think if you can what growing up
Had to be like for me
Your father's a man who taught you who you are
Mine was never there
So how can you say I don't come out of thin air?
(Aladdin)There's so much I want to know
(Jasmine)You've got the chance to learn
(Aladdin) If it means I'd have to go
(Jasmine)I'll be right here when you return
(Jasmine) Our wedding can wait
(Aladdin) I love you
(Jasmine) I think it's worth this small delay
(Aladdin) Maybe your right
(Jasmine) And won't it be great to have your father see our wedding day?
(Aladdin) I've waited so long
(Jasmine) It isn't too late
(Aladdin) To learn the truth
(Both) And now at last we can finally say
(Jasmine) Your father is really there
(Aladdin) There's so much that we might share
(Jasmine) And you'll finally learn
(Both) You don't come out of thin air
The lyrics of Disney's song "Out of Thin Air" are primarily sung by the characters of Princess Jasmine and Aladdin. They talk about the strength of their bond and the love between them. Jasmine feels grateful to Aladdin for providing her with a perspective on the world, she was never exposed to before. Aladdin took her on a magic carpet ride and showed her a world that was locked up inside of her. The song talks about how usually people like Aladdin don't exist, as they don't benefit from a nurturing and loving environment as Jasmine did. Aladdin faced hardships, his father was absent, and he had to navigate the world on his terms. He tells Jasmine that she doesn't understand how he feels and how growing up was for him.
In the next verse, Aladdin shares his thoughts on the situation. He tells Jasmine that he has so many questions, and there is a lot she hasn't seen or grasped about his background. Jasmine's father taught her who she is, but his father wasn't there to tell him or guide him. How can then Jasmine say that Aladdin didn't come out of thin air? However, Jasmine tells Aladdin he has the chance to learn and how important that can be for him. Later, they decide that they can't have their wedding until Aladdin finds out the truth about his father, and it will be worth the wait. The song concludes with them finally stating that Aladdin's father is present, they have a lot to share and that he didn't come out of thin air.

If A Whole New World was what got this relationship off the ground Out of Thin Air shows how far this couple has come. Aladdin and Jasmine show fantastic chemistry in all of their movies and the TV show, making them the most fleshed out couple in the whole Disney franchise. They earned that wedding day at the end of the movie.

My father left when I was a toddler and despite him ditching me I will never do that to my daughter. Such a beautiful song.

Got to admit, Aladdin and Jasmine's voices have to be the best combination. I kinda wanna hear 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight' in their voices.

@GuitarPlayinDan Correct! That's Liz Callaway, a veteran Broadway actress and the singing voice for Anastasia from the Don Bluth movie, singing Jasmine. Her voice is glorious!
(Incidentally, she originated the role of Ellen in 'Miss Saigon' on Broadway opposite Lea as Kim!)
