"Speechless (Part 1)" lyrics

Naomi Scott Lyrics

"Speechless (Part 1)"
(from "Aladdin" soundtrack)

Here comes a wave
Meant to wash me away
A tide that is taking me under
Broken again
Left with nothing to say
My voice drowned out in the thunder

But I can't cry
And I can't start to crumble
Whenever they try
To shut me or cut me down

I can't stay silent
Though they wanna keep me quiet
And I tremble when they try it
All I know is I won't go speechless


Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, known for their work on "The Greatest Showman" soundtrack, wrote this song with Alan Menken, the composer of the original "Aladdin" (1992). Menken told to Billboard, "It was obvious that Jasmine needed to move from being a Disney animated princess to a three-dimensional young woman who wants to be heard and respected. We knew we wanted it to be a song that states her desire to be heard."
Princess Jasmine sings "Speechless" twice in the film. The song's composer Alan Menken explained, "If it came too early it wasn't earned, and if we placed the whole song late, it was too late for it. We found it was best to do it in two parts."
