Alan Menken - These Palace Walls lyrics

[JASMINE] A princess must say this: "A princess must marry a total stranger", it's absurd! Suitors talk of love but it's an act Merely meant to throw me How could someone love me when in fact They don't know me They want my royal treasure When all is said and done It's time for a desperate measure So I wonder Why shouldn't I fly so far from here I know the girl I might become here Sad and confined and always locked behind these palace walls [ATTENDENT #1] (speaking): I don't know princess, for someone like you the outside world might be kind of overwhelming [JASMINE] (speaking): Is that a promise? [ATTENDENT #2] (spoken): I think it would do her some good [JASMINE] (spoken): You do? [ATTENDENT #2] (spoken): Honey I've never seen someone who needed to get out more [ATTENDENTS] Told to show devotion everyday And not second guess it [JASMINE] If a new emotion comes my way [ATTENDENTS] You suppress it [JASMINE] What would be your suggestion [ATTENDENTS] Stand on your own two feet And ask why a certain question keeps repeating [JASMINE] Why shouldn't I fly so far from here I know the girl I might become here Follow your heart or you might end up cold and callous [ALL] Love comes to those who go and find it If you've a dream then stand behind it [JASMINE] Maybe there's more beyond these palace walls What if I dared What if I tried Am I prepared for what's outside Why shouldn't I fly so far from here Something awaits beyond these palace walls [ALL] Something waits beyond these palace walls
