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
