You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll find things you never knew you never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grins?
Can you sing in all the voices of the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Look at this stuff, isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm a girl
A girl who has everything?
Look at this trove, treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around here you think
"Sure, she's got everything"
I have gadgets and gizmos a-plenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs? I've got twenty!
But who cares? No big deal, I want more
I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see them dancin'
Walking around on those-
What do you call 'em again?
Oh, feet
Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumping, dancing
Strolling along down a-
What's the word?
Street
Up where they walk, up where they run
Up where they play all day in the sun
Wanderin' free, wish I could be
Part of your world
Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast
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
Up where it's way up here
It's crystal clear
And now I'm in a whole new world with you
