from Walt Disney’s Aladdin (1992) Lyrics by Tim Rice and Music by Alan Menken Performed by Lea Salonga and Brad Kane
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.
Chorus:
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.
Chorus:
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.
