Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah...oh yeah.
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 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.
[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.

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 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 when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you

Now I'm in a whole new world with you

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
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 (Every turn a surprise)
With new horizons to pursue (Every moment, red-letter)
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)
That's where we'll be (That's where we'll be)
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me

Jessica does a great Job here, I just didn’t realize how great Nicks voice is, so effortless and smooth. His voice is better than most boy band voices.

You know he was on a boy band right?
