Tangled

Healing incantation (Prologue / The tear heals) (Menken / Slater)

Flower, gleam and glow
let your power shine
make the clock reverse
bring back what once was mine
(what once was mine)

Heal what has been hurt
change the fates' design
save what has been lost
bring back what once was mine
what once was mine

When will my life begin (Menken / Slater)

Seven AM, the usual morning line-up
start on the chores and sweep till the floor's all clean
polish and wax, do laundry and mop and shine up
sweep again, and by then, it's like seven fifteen

And so I'll read a book, or maybe two or three
I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery
I'll play guitar and knit and cook and basically
just wonder when will my life begin?

Then after lunch, it's puzzles and darts and baking
paper-mache, a bit of ballet and chess
pottery and ventriloquy, candle-making
then I'll stretch, maybe sketch, take a climb, sew a dress

And I'll re-read the books, if I have time to spare
I'll paint the wall some more, I'm sure there's room somewhere
and then I'll brush and brush and brush and brush my hair
stuck in the same place I've always been
and I'll keep wondering and wondering and wondering and wondering
when will my life begin?

Tomorrow night the lights will appear
just like they do on my birthday each year
what is it like out there where they glow?
now that I'm older, mother might just let me go

Reprise 1 (not in the movie)
I've got my mother's love, I shouldn't ask for more
I've got so many things I should be thankful for
yes, I have everything, except, I guess, a door
perhaps it's better that I stay in
but tell me when will my life begin?

Reprise 2
Look at the world, so close and I'm halfway to it
look at it all, so big, do I even dare?
look at me, there at last, I just have to do it
should I? ... no ... here I go

Just smell the grass, the dirt, just like I dreamed they'd be
just feel that summer breeze, the way it's calling me
for like the first time ever, I'm completely free

I could go running and racing
and dancing and chasing
and leaping and bounding
hair flying, heart pounding
and splashing and reeling
and finally feeling
now's when my life begins

Mother knows best (Menken / Slater)
(in blue: extended lyrics, not in the movie)

Look at you, as fragile as a flower
still a little sapling, just a sprout
you know why we stay up in this tower (I know, but...)
that's right, to keep you safe and sound, dear

Guess I always knew this day was coming
knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest
soon, but not yet, (but...) shh, trust me, pet
Mother knows best

Mother knows best, listen to your mother
it's a scary world out there
Mother knows best, one way or another
something will go wrong, I swear

Ruffians, thugs, poison ivy, quicksand
cannibals and snakes, the plague (no, yes, but...)
also large bugs, men with pointy teeth and
stop, no more, you'll just upset me

Mother's right here, Mother will protect you
darling, here's what I suggest
skip the drama, stay with Mama
Mother knows best

Go ahead, get tramped by a rhino
go ahead, get mugged and left for dead
me, I'm just your mother, what do I know?
I only bathed and changed and nursed you

Go ahead and leave me, I deserve it
let me die alone here, be my guest
when it's too late, you'll see - just wait
Mother knows best

Mother knows best, take it from your mumsy
on your own, you won't survive
sloppy, under-dressed, immature, clumsy
please, they'll eat you up alive

Gullible, naive, positively grubby
ditzy and a bit, well hmm, vague
plus, I believe, gettin' kinda chubby
I'm just saying cause I wuv you

Mother understands, Mother's here to help you
all I have is one request
[...]
don't forget it, you'll regret it
Mother knows best

Reprise
Why would he like you, come on now, really
look at you, you think that he's impressed?
don't be a dummy, come with mummy
Mother .....

Rapunzel knows best, Rapunzel's so mature now
such a clever, grown-up miss
Rapunzel knows best, fine, if you're so sure now
go ahead then, give him this (ha)

This is why he's here, don't let him deceive you
give it to him, watch, you'll see
trust me, my dear, that's how fast he'll leave you
I won't say I told you so

No, Rapunzel knows best, so if he's such a dreamboat
go and put him to the test
if he's lying, don't come crying
Mother knows best

I've got a dream (Menken / Slater)

I'm malicious, mean and scary, my sneer could curdle dairy
and violence-wise my hands are not the cleanest
but despite my evil look and my temper and my hook
I've always yearned to be a concert pianist

Can't you see me on the stage performing Mozart
tickling the ivories till they gleam
yep, I'd rather be called deadly for my killer show-tune medley, thank you
cause way down deep inside I've got a dream

He's got a dream, he's got a dream
see, I ain't as cruel and vicious as I seem
though I do like breaking femurs, you can count me with the dreamers
like everybody else, I've got a dream

I've got scars and lumps and bruises plus something here that oozes
and let's not even mention my complexion
but despite my extra toes and my goiter and my nose
I really want to make a love connection

Can't you see me with a special little lady
rowing in a rowboat down a stream
though I'm one disgusting blighter, I'm a lover, not a fighter
cause way down deep inside I've got a dream

I've got a dream (he's got a dream), I've got a dream (he's got a dream)
and I know one day romance will reign supreme
though my face leaves people screaming, there's a child behind it dreaming
like everybody else, I've got a dream

Toll would like to quit and be a florist
Gunter does interior design
Urf is into mime, Attila's cupcakes are sublime
Bruiser knits, Killer sews
Ven does little puppet shows
and Vladimir collects ceramic unicorns

I have dreams like you, no really, just much less touchy-feely
they mainly happen somewhere warm and sunny
on an island that I own, tan and rested and alone
surrounded by enormous piles of money

I've got a dream (she's got a dream), I've got a dream (she's got a dream)
I just want to see the floating lanterns gleam
and with every passing hour I'm so glad I left my tower
like all you lovely folks, I've got a dream

She's got a dream, she's got a dream
they got a dream , we've got a dream
so our differences ain't really that extreme
we're one big team

Call us brutal, sick, sadistic and grotesquely optimistic
cause way down deep inside we've got a dream
I've got a dream, I've got a dream
I've got a dream, I've got a dream
I've got a dream, I've got a dream, wo-hoo, wo-hoo
yes, way down deep inside, I've got a dream
yeah!

I see the light (Menken / Slater)

All those days watching from the windows
all those years outside looking in
all that time never even knowing
just how blind I've been

Now I'm here, blinking in the starlight
now I'm here, suddenly I see
standing here, it's all so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be

And at last I see the light
and it's like the fog has lifted
and at last I see the light
and it's like the sky is new
and it's warm and real and bright
and the world has somehow shifted
all at once everything looks different
now that I see you

All those days, chasing down a daydream
all those years, living in a blur
all that time, never truly seeing
things the way they were

Now she's here, shining in the starlight
now she's here, suddenly I know
if she's here, it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go

Grace Potter - Something that I want (Potter)

Come on, mmmmh

She's a girl with the best intentions
he's a man of his own invention
she looked out the window, he walked out the door
but she followed him and he said "watcha lookin' for?"

She said I want something that I want
something that I tell myself I need
something that I want
and I need everything I see
something that I want
something that I tell myself I need
something that I want
and I need everything I see, yeah

He's been living in a pure illusion
she's gonna come to her own conclusion
right when you think you know what to say
someone comes along and shows you a brand new way

It's so easy to make believe
it seems you're living in a dream
don't you see that what you need
is standing in front of you

I want something that I want
something that I tell myself I need
something that I want
and I need everything I see
something that I want
something that I tell myself I need
something that I want
and I need everything I see
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
give it to me now ...
