 Lyrics
When You Believe
The Prince of Egypt
“There can be miracles when you believeThough hope is frail, it’s hard to kill.
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
Somehow you will,
You will when you believe.”
Color’s Of The Wind
Pocahontas
“How high will the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you’ll never know.
And you’ll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper skinned.
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind.”
Defying Gravity
Wicked
“It’s time to try defying gravity
I think I’ll try defying gravity,
And you can’t pull me down.”
That’s How You Know
Enchanted
“He’ll find a new way to show you
A little bit everyday
That’s how you know
That’s how your know he’s your love.”
