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, spoken]

I think I've got it!

[RAPUNZEL]

Below

We spend our whole lives trudging to and 'fro

Now-

[CASSANDRA, spoken]

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
