These Palace Walls

1 JASMINE A princess must say this:

2 "A princess must marry a total stranger", it's absurd!

3 Suitors talk of love but it's an act

4 Merely meant to throw me

5 How could someone love me when in fact

6 They don't know me

7 They want my royal treasure

8 When all is said and done

9 It's time for a desperate measure

10 So I wonder

11 Why shouldn't I fly so far from here?

12 I know the girl I might become here

13 Sad and confined and always locked behind these palace walls!

14 ATTENDANT #1, spoken

15 I don't know princess, for someone like you the outside world might be kind of overwhelming

16 JASMINE, spoken

17 Is that a promise?

18 ATTENDANT #2, spoken

19 I think it would do her some good

20 JASMINE, spoken

21 You do?

22 ATTENDANT #2, spoken

23 Honey I've never seen somebody who needed to get out more

24 ATTENDANTS

25 Told to show devotion everyday

26 And not second guess it

27 JASMINE

28 If a new emotion comes my way

29 ATTENDANTS

30 You suppress it

31 JASMINE

32 What would be your suggestion?

33 ATTENDANTS

34 Stand on your own two feet

35 And ask why a certain question keeps repeating

36 JASMINE

37 Why shouldn't I fly so far from here?

38 I know the girl I might become here

39 Follow your heart or you might end up cold and callous

40 ALL

41 Love comes to those who go and find it

42 If you've a dream then stand behind it

43 JASMINE

44 Maybe there's more beyond these palace walls

45 What if I dared

46 What if I tried

47 Am I prepared for what's outside

48 Why shouldn't I fly so far from here?

49 Something awaits beyond these palace walls

50 ALL

51 Something waits beyond these palace walls
