A Whole New World
Disney - Aladdin 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.
The song "A Whole New World" is a romantic duet between Aladdin and Jasmine, the two main characters of Disney's Aladdin. The track starts with Aladdin singing that he wants to show Jasmine the world, and then he describes all the wonders that they can see in a poetic and enthusiastic way. He encourages her to put her doubts aside and trust him, to take her on a magic carpet ride to new and exciting places. In the chorus, they sing together about the incredible feeling of discovering a whole new world, free from any restrictions or obligations. They marvel at the sights, sounds, and feelings they encounter, and declare their intention to explore this amazing universe together.
The second verse is sung as a duet, with Nick and Jessica taking turns singing about the wonders of the world they discovered. They encourage each other to keep their eyes open and to keep exploring, delighted by the sights before them. They admit that they never knew such a beautiful and magical place even existed, and they sing about the endless possibilities that await them. The song comes to an end with Nick and Jessica both singing about how happy they are to have found this incredible new world together.
