I Don't Know Why
Various Artists Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've never been one
To step out of my comfort zone
Whenever I try
I am afraid to just let go

Don't know why I run
Don't know why I hide
Never let them know
What I feel inside

Don't know why I'm scared
Just to take a chance
While I'm just standing here

I've never been one
To break free
'Cause I've always cared
What everyone thinks of me

Don't know why I run
Don't know why I hide
Never let them know
What I feel inside

Don't know why I'm scared
Just to take a chance
While I'm just standing here

Like a bird
Free to fly
Spread my wings and fly my life
Like a bird
Up so high out of the cage
It's my time to shine

Like a bird
I'm free to fly




So tell me (tell me)
Why don't I

The transitions between the different languages are seamless. It's insane how consistent the voices of all the characters are.

@thhunteralf9398

I thought that, it sounds like it is the same voice actors no matter what language they were in.

@iris.mp3662

was thinking exactly that!

@waitaminute-113

Yeah I agree Disney did a great job with the songs and overall for everything ^^
Also I heard somewhere that pepa’s va did both English and Spanish which they sound alike lol-
