Ariana DeBose - More than This lyrics (From Disney's Wish)

Isn’t truth supposed to set you free?

But why do I feel so weighed down by you? 

If I could show them everything I’ve seen, 

Open their eyes to all the lies then,

Would they change their minds like I did?

But when I speak, they tell me “Sit down.”

But how can I when I’ve already started running?

Oh, this is where we’ve been, but it’s not where we belong

And I may be young, but I know I’m not wrong 

So I look up at the stars to guide me

And throw caution to every warning sign

If knowing what it could be is what drives me

Then let me be the first to stand in line

So I make this wish

To have something more for us than this

So I make this wish

To have something more for us than… this!

Hey-yaaa! 

Hey-yaaaaaa! 

More than this, oh woah! 

I never knew I needed room to grow

Yeah, I did what I was told 

Cause someone told me “No.”

Now I got all of this freedom in my bones, 

But I still got the lid on so... it doesn’t overflow

Cause I’ve got reservations and hesitations 

On where I should even begin!

I’m past dipping my toes in, but I’m not, no,

I’m not past diving in! 

If I can just be pointed in any given direction

On where to go and what to do

My legs are shaking but my head’s held high

The way you always taught me to 

So I look up at the stars to guide me

And throw caution to every warning sign

I’m sure there will be challenges that find me

But I can take them on one at a time! 

So I make this wish

To have something more for us than this

So I make this wish

To have something more for us than… this! 

Hey-yaaa! Hey-yaaaaaa! 

More than this, oh woah!

 

So I make this wish

To have something more for us than… this!
