Part of Your World (Soundtrack Version) Lyrics

[Chorus]
Up where they walk, up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free
Wish I could be part of that world

[Verse 2]
What would I give if I could live out of these waters?
What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand?

Bet'cha on land they understand
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand


[Pre-Chorus]
I'm ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions and get some answers
What's a fire and why does it—, what's the word? Burn?

[Chorus]
When's it my turn? Wouldn't I love
Love to explore that shore up above?
Out of the sea
Wish I could be part of that world

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
