The View from Up Here
[RAPUNZEL]
Life's been so unsatisfying
Look, suddenly, now I'm flying
Freewheeling from cloud to cloud to cloud
Wings spread and the sky below me
There's no one to stop or slow me
Pure freedom and everything's allowed
Down there
I know there's tons of burdens I must bear
Somewhere
But from up here
The world looks so small
And suddenly life seems so clear
And from up here
You coast past it all
The obstacles just disappear
Never feel heavy or earthbound
No worries or doubts interfere
There's nothing but you looking down on the view from up here
[RAPUNZEL & (CASSANDRA)]
Stretch out with the wind behind you (Here we go)
Float up, let the current find you (Look out below)
Keep climbing and sail from breeze to breeze (Stay close, don't leave me, please!)
Head up to the stratospheres
With only the stars to steer us
Just think of the possibilities
[CASSANDRA]
I think I've got it!
[RAPUNZEL]
Below
We spend our whole lives trudging to and 'fro
Now-
{CASSANDRA]
Woah!
[RAPUNZEL & CASSANDRA]
And from up here
[RAPUNZEL]
The world looks so wide
[CASSANDRA]
Yet every horizon seems near
[RAPUNZEL & CASSANDRA]
And from up here
[RAPUNZEL]
No path is denied
[CASSANDRA]
You choose which direction you veer
[RAPUNZEL]
And suddenly you can breathe easy
[CASSANDRA]
Contented
[RAPUNZEL]
Carefree
[CASSANDRA]
Cavalier
[RAPUNZEL & CASSANDRA]
Just gliding on through
Looking down on the view from up here
And from up here
The world is all yours
Each mountain and meadow and mere
And from up here
Life's duties and chores
Are barely worth shedding a tear
And all of the sky lies before us
Straight up to the far stratosphere
So head for the blue and let's take in the view from up here
It's just me and you looking down on the view from up here
