Who I am

If I live to be a hundred and never see the seven wonders
That'll be alright
If I don't make it to the big leagues, If I never win a Grammy
I'm gonna be just fine
Cause I know exactly who I am

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me, and that's who I am

So when I make a big mistake, and I fall flat on my face
I know I'll be alright
Should my tender heart be broken

I will cry those teardrops knowing
I will be just fine
Cause nothing changes who I am

Well, Well Said the Rocking Chair
"well, well," said the rocking chair
"it's been a while since I've seen such stark despair."
"who told you life was fair? "
"woah, woah," said the radio,

"sit, there are some things you ought to know"
"there is little you can do to stop the pain,

and it's gonna happen time and time again
But just remember even though it sounds insane
It's impossible to ever love somebody in vain."

All right. it's gonna be all right. it's gonna be all right. it's gonna be all right

"no, no," said the balcony,

"if it's pity you want don't come to me."
"no, nothing comes for free."
"yes, yes," said the coffee cup,

"maybe now is the time to act grown up."
"if you feel like your world is crashing in,

simply dial up your nearest kith or kin."
"if you open up and let them in
You'll discover that you'll probably make it through once again."

All right. it's gonna be all right. it's gonna be all right. it's gonna be all right

"hey, hey," said the table top,

"don't be making like you're anything you're not."
"make do with what you've got"
"don't forget," said the cuckoo clock,

"any parts you need we've got in stock."
"take a look at the place you call your home.

you're reflected in all the things you own.

and the seeds of reason you have sown
They're a measure of a part of you that's already grown."

 

All right. it's gonna be all right. it's gonna be all right. it's gonna be all right

A Whole New World

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, 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
That's where we'll be
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me
