Will Smith Songtext
von AD

Oh, imagine a land
It′s a faraway place
Where the caravan
Camels roam
Where you wander among
Ev'ry culture and tongue
It′s chaotic
But hey, it's home
When the wind's
From the east
And the sun′s
From the west
And the sand
In the glass is right
Come on down, stop on by
Hop a carpet and fly
To another Arabian night
As you wind
Through the streets
And the fabled bazaars


With the cardamom-cluttered
Stalls
You can smell e′vry spice
While you haggle the price
Of the silks
And the satin shawls
Oh, the music that plays
As you move through a maze
In the haze
Of your pure delight
You are caught in a dance
You are lost in the trance
Of another Arabian night
Arabian nights
Like Arabian days
More often than not
Are hotter than hot
In a lot of good ways
Arabian nights
Like Arabian dreams
This mystical land
Of magic and sand
Is more than it seems
There's a road
That may lead you
To good or to greed
Through the power
Your wishing commands
Let the darkness unfold
Or find fortunes untold
Well, your destiny
Lies in your hands
Only one may enter here.
One whose worth
Lies far within.
The diamond in the rough.
Arabian nights
Like Arabian days
They seem to excite
Take off and take flight
To shock and amaze
Seek thee out
The diamond in the rough
Arabian nights
Neath Arabian moons
A fool off his guard
Could fall and fall hard
Out there on the dunes

Gotta keep one jump
Ahead of the bread line
One swing
Ahead of the sword
I steal
Only what I can′t afford
And that's ev′rything
One jump
Ahead of the lawmen
That's all
And that′s no joke
These guys
Don't appreciate I'm broke
Riffraff!
Street rat!
Scoundrel!
Take that!
Try a dif′rent tack, guys
Rip him open!
Round the back, guys
I can take a hint
Gotta face the facts
Could really use
A friend or two!
Oh, it′s sad
Aladdin's hit the bottom
Ooh, ladies!
He′s become
A one-man rise in crime
Well...
I'd blame parents
′Cept he hasn't got ′em
Gotta eat to live
Gotta steal to eat
Tell you all about it
When I got the time
Huh?
There are stairs, you know.
Where's the fun in that?
One jump
Ahead of the slowpokes
One skip ahead of my doom
Next time
Gonna use a nom de plume
One jump
Ahead of the hit men
One hit ahead of the flock
I think I'll take a stroll
Around the block
Stop, thief!
Vandal!
Abu!
Scandal!
Let′s not be too hasty
Still, I think
He′s rather tasty
Gotta eat to live
Gotta steal to eat
Otherwise we'd get along
Wrong!
No, no, no!
Together on three!
- Together on three?
We jump.
- We jump?
Why are you repeating
Everything I say?
The pole.
One, two, three!
Nicely done.
Thank you.
One jump
Ahead of the hoof beats
One hop ahead of the hump
One trick
Ahead of disaster
They′re quick
But I'm much faster
Here goes!
Better throw my hand in
Wish me happy landin′
All I gotta do is jump!

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
Whole new world
A dazzling place
I never knew
But when I′m way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in
A whole new world
With you
Now I′m in A
Whole new world with you
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
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
Ev′ry turn a surprise
With new
Horizons To pursue
Ev'ry 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
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me

Here comes a wave
Meant to wash me away
A tide
That is taking me under
Broken again
Left with nothing to say
My voice drowned out
In the thunder
But I can′t cry
And I can't
Start to crumble
Whenever they try
To shut me or cut me down
I can′t stay silent
Though they wanna
Keep me quiet
And I tremble
When they try it
All I know is I won't
Go speechless

Written in stone
Ev′ry rule, ev'ry word
Centuries old
And unbending
"Stay in your place
Better seen and not heard"
Well, now that story
Is ending
′Cause I
I cannot start to crumble
So come on and try
Try to shut me
And cut me down
I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won′t tremble
When you try it
All I know is
I won′t go speechless
Speechless
Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No, I won't live unspoken
′Cause I know
That I won't go speechless
Try to lock me
In this cage
I won′t just lay me down
And die
I will take
These broken wings
And watch me
Burn across the sky
Hear the echo saying
I won't be silenced
Though you wanna see me
Tremble when you try it
′Cause I'll breathe
When they try
To suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
′Cause I know that
I won′t go speechless
All I know is
I won't go speechless
Speechless!
