[00:02.09] (Jasmine:)A princess must say this
[00:04.87] A princess must marry a total stranger.
[00:08.14] It's absurd!
[00:09.89] Suitors talk of love
[00:10.88] But it's an act merely meant to throw me
[00:14.58] How can someone love me when, in fact
[00:17.13] They don't know me?
[00:19.53] They want my royal treasure,
[00:21.94] when all is said and done.
[00:24.38] It's time for a desperate measure
[00:26.75] So I wonder
[00:29.20] Why shouldn't I fly so far from here?
[00:34.10] I know the girl I might become here
[00:38.86] Sad and confined
[00:40.71] And always locked behind these palace walls
[00:50.80] (Lady:)I don't know princess for someone like you the outside world might kind of overwhelming.
[00:55.46] (Jasmine:)Is that a promise?
[00:56.40] (Lady 2:)I think it might do her some good.
[00:58.00] (Jasmine:)You do?
[00:58.59] (Lady 2:)Honey, I've never seen somebody who needed to get out more.
[01:03.48] (Lady:)Told to show devotion every day
[01:05.88] And not second guess it
[01:08.41] (Jasmine:)If a new emotion comes my way
[01:10.52] (Ladies:)You suppress it
[01:13.34] (Jasmine:)What would be your suggestion?
[01:15.90] (Lady:)Standing on your own two feet
[01:18.32] (Lady:)And ask why a certain question keeps repeating
[01:23.14] (Jasmine:)Why shouldn't I fly so far from here?
[01:28.05] I know the girl I might become here
[01:32.87] Follow your heart or you might end up cold and callous
[01:43.41] (All:)Love comes to those who go and find it
[01:47.61] If you must dream then stand behind it
[01:52.33] (Jasmine:)Maybe there's more beyond these palace walls
[02:01.21] What if I dared?
[02:04.36] What if I tried?
[02:07.15] Am I prepared for what's outside?
[02:12.17] Why shouldn't I fly so far from here?
[02:16.95] Something awaits beyond these palace walls.
[02:30.00] (All:)Something awaits beyond these palace walls.
[02:36.32]
