A Whole New World
Peabo Bryson (Children's) 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 "A Whole New World" is part of the soundtrack of Disney's animated film "Aladdin." The song is performed by Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack, and it is a duet between the characters Aladdin and Jasmine. In the opening lines, Aladdin invites Jasmine to see the world he can show her – one that is "shining, shimmering, splendid," and to let her heart decide. The following lines describe the magic carpet ride that they will embark on as they see the world in an entirely new way. They find themselves in a whole new world, a fantastic point of view, where there is no one to hold them back or tell them what to do. They experience incredible sights and feelings as they soar through the endless diamond sky. The song is an ode to adventure, to taking risks, to being open to new experiences, and to finding love in unexpected places.
The lyrics to "A Whole New World" speak to the universal human desire to explore new horizons, to discover new places, and to experience new things. Aladdin and Jasmine's journey represents the hero's journey, the archetypical quest for self-discovery, and growth. The whole new world they uncover is not only physical but also emotional, one where their relationship with each other deepens and blossoms. The song's message is a timely one; it encourages listeners to be open to new perspectives, to try new things, and to be unafraid to take risks.
