When You BelieveThe Prince of Egypt “There can be miracles when you believe- Though 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 GravityWicked “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.”
