Alan Menken & Original Broadway Cast of Aladdin
In this song, Aladdin and Jasmine both connect over feeling trapped in their daily lives, but both want what the other wants to leave behind. Aladdin wants luxury and riches, while Jasmine feels confined in the palace and wants freedom. Despite this, they both dream about running far away and begin...
[ALADDIN] (spoken):
Have you ever imagined what it would be like to take off? Never look back?
[JASMINE] (spoken):
Only every hour of every day
[ALADDIN] (spoken):
What's stopping us?
[ALADDIN]
We'll join a caravan tonight
Count on the stars to be our guides
We'll simply vanish out of sight
Go where the desert road decides
There won't be any obligations
[JASMINE]
Or fathers to obey
[ALADDIN]
Cause we'll be a million miles away
Leave everything behind
When you choose to lose yourself
Who knows what you might find
And once the journey's done
You'll have some faith in me
After a million miles or so
We might feel like we're free
[JASMINE]
Maybe we'll travel on the sea
[ALADDIN]
I'll tend the sails and you can steer
[JASMINE]
Watch the waves roll on endlessly
[ALADDIN]
And the horizon disappear
[JASMINE]
We'll leave all thoughts about the future 'till some future day
[BOTH]
Cause we'll be a million miles away
Leave everything behind
When you choose to lose yourself
Who knows what you might find
And once the journey's done
It won't seem quite so far
After a million miles or so
We'll find out who we are
[JASMINE]
Follow wherever the wind starts blowing
[ALADDIN]
A million miles away
The kind of life people dream of knowing
[JASMINE]
A million miles away
[BOTH]
We'll never turn back we'll just keep on going
Vanishing from the view
Becoming someone new
We'll be a million miles away
Leave everything behind
When you choose to lose yourself
Who knows what you might find
And once the journey's done
We'll have no need to roam
After a million miles or so
We might find out we're home
After a million miles or so
We might find out we're home
