The Power in Me by Team StarKid Lyrics
[PRINCESS]
What will I do without you to guide me?
When I am lost, where will I turn?
So many doubts and fears inside me
I'm just a child, I've so much to learn
[JA'FAR]
You remind me of someone
I knew long ago
You have her eyes, you have her heart
That's why I love you so
And that's how I know
Somewhere deep within you
Like a tiny seed
Waiting to grow into a flower
You have the power to lead
You've done your best to heed me
But you don't need me as a guide
For it's been in you all along
The power inside
[PRINCESS]
If I do have power
Beyond what meets the eye
The source of all my hidden value
Is the morale you supply
If I'm capable of greatness
It's not innateness, don't you see?
You're the one who put it there
The power in me
[BOTH]
Do not be fooled by appearances
For though it may seem small
The power to love one another
Is the greatest power of all
No matter where life leads us
We'll never be apart
[JA'FAR]
Through thick and thin
[PRINCESS]
Success or ruin
[BOTH]
I'll carry you in my heart
And I will treasure forever
What the world will never see
[JA'FAR]
You are kind, and that's enough
[PRINCESS]
You're a diamond in the rough
[BOTH]
And you are the power
The power in me
The power in me...
[JA'FAR, spoken]
Now, Princess, what do you wish of me?
[PRINCESS, spoken]
I wish there was a way to end the war in Pik-Zahr Peacefully.
And I wish the kingdom had a sultan who would make it the happiest place on earth.
[JA'FAR, spoken]
What else?
[PRINCESS, sung]
I wish you didn't have to go
When our story's just begun
[JA'FAR, spoken]
I'm sorry princess, there are some wishes I cannot grant
[PRINCESS]
Then I wish you every happiness
[JA'FAR]
It is done
What will I do without you to guide me?
When I am lost, where will I turn?
So many doubts and fears inside me
I'm just a child, I've so much to learn
[JA'FAR]
You remind me of someone
I knew long ago
You have her eyes, you have her heart
That's why I love you so
And that's how I know
Somewhere deep within you
Like a tiny seed
Waiting to grow into a flower
You have the power to lead
You've done your best to heed me
But you don't need me as a guide
For it's been in you all along
The power inside
[PRINCESS]
If I do have power
Beyond what meets the eye
The source of all my hidden value
Is the morale you supply
If I'm capable of greatness
It's not innateness, don't you see?
You're the one who put it there
The power in me
[BOTH]
Do not be fooled by appearances
For though it may seem small
The power to love one another
Is the greatest power of all
No matter where life leads us
We'll never be apart
[JA'FAR]

And I will treasure forever
