These Palace Walls-Alan Menken and Howard Ashman

[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]
