A Whole New World
Disney (Various) 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
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 (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
With new horizons to pursue
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)
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 (Every turn a surprise)
With new horizons to pursue (Every moment red-letter)
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
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 (Where we will be)
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me
The song "Whole New World" from the Disney movie Aladdin has become an iconic duet between the two main characters, Aladdin and Princess Jasmine. In the song, Aladdin takes Jasmine on a magic carpet ride and shows her a whole new world of wonder and beauty that she had never experienced before. Aladdin promises to show her a new point of view and encourages her to follow her heart.
The lyrics are full of vivid imagery such as "shining, shimmering, splendid" and "an endless diamond sky" that create an atmosphere of wonder and excitement. Aladdin tells Jasmine to hold her breath and take it all in, urging her not to close her eyes and miss any of the amazing sights.
The song is a powerful message about the transformative power of love and the idea that anything is possible when you have someone by your side. It encourages listeners to step out of their comfort zones and embrace the unknown, because that is where life's greatest adventures and experiences lie.
