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, it coasts past it all
The obstacles just disappear
We never feel heavy or earthbound
No worries or doubts interfere
There's nothing but you looking down on the view from up here
You've got to try this!
Cassandra: I don't know...
Rapunzel: Oh come on, Cass, just watch! It's easy!
Stretch out with the wind behind you
Cassandra: Here we go
Rapunzel: Float up, let the current find you
Cassandra: Look out below
Rapunzel: Keep climbing, and sail from breeze to breeze
Cassandra: Stick close, don't leave me, please!
Rapunzel: Head up to the stratocirrus
With only the stars to steer us
Just think of the possibilities
Cassanda: I think I've got it!
Rapunzel: Below, we spend our whole life trudging to and fro
Now-
Cassanda: Woah!
Together: 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 at 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, it coasts past it all
The obstacles just disappear
We never feel heavy or earthbound
No worries or doubts interfere
There's nothing but you looking down on the view from up here
Stretch out with the wind behind you
Cassandra: Here we go
Rapunzel: Float up, let the current find you
Cassandra: Look out below
Rapunzel: Keep climbing, and sail from breeze to breeze
Cassandra: Stick close, don't leave me, please!
Rapunzel: Head up to the stratocirrus
With only the stars to steer us
Just think of the possibilities
Cassanda: I think I've got it!
Rapunzel: Below, we spend our whole life trudging to and fro
Now-
Cassanda: Woah!
Together: And from up here
Rapunzel: The world looks so wide
Cassanda: Yet every horizon seems near
Together: And from up here
Rapunzel: No path is denied
Cassanda: You choose which direction you veer
Rapunzel: And suddenly you can breathe easy
Contented
Cassanda: Carefree
Rapunzel: Cavalier
Together: Just gliding on through
Looking down at 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 at the view from up here
