"Speechless (Part 2)" lyrics

Naomi Scott Lyrics

"Speechless (Part 2)"
(from "Aladdin" soundtrack)

Written in stone
Every rule, every word
Centuries old and unbending
Stay in your place
Better seen and not heard
Well now that story is ending

'Cause I
I cannot start to crumble
So come on and try
Try to shut me and cut me down

I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless

Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No, I won't live unspoken
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

Try to lock me in this cage
I won't just lay me down and die
I will take these broken wings
And watch me burn across the sky
And it echoes saying

I won't be silenced
Though you wanna see me tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless

'Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless


Thanks to Haley for correcting these lyrics.
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."
