Do you wanna build a snowman?
Come on, let's go and play
I never see you anymore
Come out the door
It's like you've gone away
We used to be best buddies
I wish you would tell me why
Do you wanna build a snowman?
It doesn't have to be a snowman
Go away, Anna
Okay, bye
Do you wanna build a snowman?
Or ride our bike around the halls?
I think some company is overdue
I've started talking to
The pictures on the walls
(Hang in there, Joan)
It gets a little lonely
All these empty rooms
Just watching the hours tick by
(Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock)
Elsa, please, I know you're in there
People are asking where you've been
They say, "Have courage" and I'm trying to
I'm right out here for you
Just let me in
We only have each other
It's just you and me
What are we gonna do?
Do you wanna build a snowman?
The song "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" by Kristen Bell Agatha Lee Monn & Katie Lopez is a heartwarming and emotional song that tells the story of two sisters, Anna and Elsa. The song initially starts with a young Anna, pleading with her sister Elsa to come out of her room and play with her. Anna reminisces about how they used to be best friends, but now Elsa won't spend any time with her.

As the song progresses, Anna continues to reach out to Elsa, but Elsa isolates herself from the world. Anna shares her loneliness with the pictures on the walls, and it's evident that she misses her sister terribly. In a powerful moment of the song, Anna pleads with Elsa to come out of her room and rejoin the world. She sings, "Elsa, please, I know you're in there, people are asking where you've been, they say have courage, and I'm trying to. I'm right out here for you, just let me in." Anna's heartwarming plea reaches audiences and portrays the beautiful bond between sisters.
Overall, this song beautifully captures the struggle of isolation and the emotional toll it takes on the human spirit. It teaches listeners the importance of reaching out to loved ones, even when they push us away.
