Mulan

Music by Matthew Wilder, lyrics by David Zippel

Honor To Us All
This is what you give me to work with?
Well, honey, I've seen worse
We're going to turn this sow's ear
Into a silk purse
We'll have you washed and dried
Primped and polished 'til you glow with pride
Trust my recipe for instant bride
You'll bring honor to us all
Wait and see, when we're through
Boys will gladly go to war for you
With good fortune and a great hairdo
You'll bring honor to us all
A girl can bring her family great honor in one way
By striking a good match and this could be the day
Men want girls with good taste
Calm, obedient, who work fast-paced
With good breeding and a tiny waist
You'll bring honor to us all
We all must serve our Emperor
Who guards us from the Huns
A man by bearing arms
A girl by bearing sons
When we're through, you can't fail
Like a lotus blossom, soft and pale
How could any fellow say, "No sale"
You'll bring honor to us all

There, you're ready.
Not yet. An apple for serenity, a pendant for balance.

Beads of jade for beauty
You must proudly show it
Now add a cricket just for luck
And even you can't blow it
Ancestors, hear my plea
Help me not to make a fool of me
And to not uproot my family tree
Keep my father standing tall
Scarier than the undertaker
We are meeting our matchmaker
Destiny, guard our girls
And our future as it fast unfurls
Please look kindly on these cultured pearls
Each a perfect porcelain doll
Please bring honor to us
Please bring honor to us
Please bring honor to us
Please bring honor to us
Please bring honor to us all

Reflection
Look at me
I will never pass for a perfect bride
Or a perfect daughter
Can it be I'm not meant to play this part?
Now I see
That if I were truly to be myself
I would break my family's heart
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know?
Somehow I cannot hide
Who I am, though I've tried
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

I'll Make A Man Out Of You
Captain Li:
Let's get down to business to defeat the Huns
Did they send me daughters when I asked for sons?
You're the saddest bunch I ever met
But you can bet before we're through
Mister, I'll make a man out of you
Tranquil as a forest but on fire within
Once you find your center you are sure to win
You're a spineless, pale, pathetic lot
And you haven't got a clue
Somehow I'll make a man out of you

Chien-Po:
I'm never gonna catch my breath

Yao:
Say good-bye to those who knew me

Ling:
Boy was I a fool in school for cutting gym

Mushu:
This guy's got 'em scared to death

Mulan:
Hope he doesn't see right through me

Chien-Po:
Now I really wish that I knew how to swim

All:
Be a man

Captain Li:
We must be swift as the coursing river

All:
Be a man

Captain Li:
With all the force of a great typhoon

All:
Be a man

Captain Li:
With all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon
Time is racing toward us 'til the Huns arrive
Heed my every order and you might survive
You're unsuited for the rage of war
So pack up, go home, you're through
How could I make a man out of you?

All:
Be a man, we must be swift as the coursing river
Be a man, with all the force of a great typhoon
Be a man, with all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon
Be a man, we must be swift as the coursing river
Be a man, with all the force of a great typhoon
Be a man, with all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon

A Girl Worth Fighting For
Men:
For a long time we've been marching off to battle

Yao:
In a thundering herd we feel a lot like cattle

Men:
Like the pounding beat, our aching feet
Aren't easy to ignore

Ling:
Hey, think of instead a girl worth fighting for
That's what I said, a girl worth fighting for
I want her paler than the moon
With eyes that shine like stars

Yao:
My girl will marvel at my strength
Adore my battle scars

Chien-Po:
I couldn't care less what she'll wear
Or what she looks like
It all depends on what she cooks like

Men:
Beef, pork, chicken, mmm

Yao:
Bet the local girls thought you were quite the charmer

Ling:
And I'll bet the ladies love a man in armor

Men:
You can guess what we have missed the most
Since we went off to war
What do we want? A girl worth fighting for

Yao:
My girl will think I have no faults

Chien-Po:
That I'm a major find

Mulan:
How 'bout a girl who's got a brain?
Who always speaks her mind?

Ling:
My manly ways and turn of phrase
Are sure to thrill her

Yao:
He thinks he's such a lady killer

Chi Fu:
I've girl back home who's unlike any other

Yao:
Yeah, the only girl who'd love him is his mother

Men:
But when we come home in victory
They'll line up at the door
What do we want? A girl worth fighting for
Wish that I had a girl worth fighting for
A girl worth fighting-

True To Your Heart
98º and Stevie Wonder
Baby, I knew at once that you were meant for me
Deep in my soul I know that I'm your destiny
Though you're unsure, why fight the tide?
Don't think so much, let your heart decide

Baby, I see your future and it's tied to mine
I look in your eyes and see you searching for a sign
But you'll never fall 'til you let go
Don't be so scared of what you don't know

Chorus:
True to your heart, you must be true to your heart
That's when the heavens will part
And baby, shower you with my love
Open your eyes, your heart can tell you no lies
And when you're true to your heart
I know it's gonna lead you straight to me

Got to be true to your heart

Someone you know is on your side can set you free
I can do that for you if you believe in me
Why second guess what feels so right?
Just trust in your heart and you'll see the light

(Chorus)

You know its true
Your heart knows what's good for you
Good for you
Let your heart show you the way
You know it's true
It'll see you through
Got to be true to your heart

Girl, my heart is driving me to where you are
You can take both hands off the wheel and still get far
Be swept away, enjoy the ride
You won't get lost with your heart to guide you

(Chorus twice)

Got to be true to your heart

When things are getting crazy
And you don't know where to start
Keep on believing, baby
Just be true to your heart
When all the world around you
It seems to fall apart
Keep on believing, baby
Just be true to your heart

Reflection (Pop Version)
Christina Aguilera
Look at me
You may think you see who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day, it's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask, I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show who I am inside?

I am now
In a world where I have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world what's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show who I am inside?

There's a heart that must be free to fly
That burns with a need to know the reason why
Why must we all conceal what we think, how we feel?
Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide?

I won't pretend that I'm someone else for all time
When will my reflection show who I am inside?
When will my reflection show who I am inside?
