A Whole New World
Regina Belle & Peabo Bryson 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 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

Overall Meaning

Regina Belle's song A Whole New World is a duet between the main characters Aladdin and Princess Jasmine from Disney's movie Aladdin. The lyrics involve Aladdin telling Princess Jasmine of his ability to show her an amazing world that she has never seen before. The opening line, "I can show you the world," sets the tone for Aladdin's theme of enchantment and adventure. The first stanza contains imagery that illustrates the beauty of the journey that the two characters will embark on by comparing it to a "shining, shimmering, splendid" world that is beyond their imagination. He encourages Jasmine to let her heart decide and be open to new experiences as they begin their journey.


The second stanza describes the freedom and excitement that comes with seeing this new world. Aladdin promises to take Jasmine "over, sideways, and under" on a magic carpet ride so they can explore different places, breaking away from their usual routine. They look at a whole new world with a "fantastic point of view" where they can be whoever they want, without anyone telling them what to do. In the climax of the song, they both sing about how their eyes are opened, and they have a newfound sense of belonging together, it is clear they are meant to be together. This song is a good representation of the story of the film and the fulfilling journey two characters embark on.
