Honor to Us All : Reflection : I'll Make a Man Out of You : Girl Worth Fighting For : True to Your Heart : Reflection (Single)
"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 till 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 palm, 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 fam'ly 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 fam'ly'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"
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've 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
I'm never gonna catch my breath, Say goodbye to those who knew me, Boy, was I a fool in school for cutting gym, This guy's got 'em scared to death, Hope he doesn't see right through me, Now I really wish that I knew how to swim
[Chorus] 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
Time is racing toward us till 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?
[Repeat Chorus twice]
"Girl Worth Fighting For"
For a long time we've been marching off to battle, In our thund'ring herd we feel a lot like cattle, Like the pounding beat our aching feet aren't easy to ignore Hey, think of instead a girl worth fighting for, Huh? That's what I said: A girl worth fighting for
I want her paler than the moon, with eyes that shine like stars, My girl will marvel at my strength, adore my battle scars I couldn't care less what she'll wear or what she looks like It all depends on what she cooks like: Beef, pork, chicken Mmm,
Bet the local girls thought you were quite the charmer, And I'll bet the ladies love a man in armor, You can guess what we have missed the most, since we went off to war, What do we want? A girl worth fighting for
My girl will think I have no faults, That I'm a major find, How 'bout a girl who's got a brain, Who always speaks her mind?
Nah! My manly ways and turn of phrase are sure to thrill her, He thinks he's such a lady-killer, I've a girl back home who's unlike any other, Yeah, the only girl who'd love him is his mother, 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"
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 till 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 goona lead you straight to me, Someone ya know is on your side, can set you free, I can do that for you if you believe in my, Why second-guess what feels so right, Just trust your heart, And you'll see the light [Repeat Chorus]
Your heart knows what's good for you, Let your heart show you the way, It'll see you through, 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 [Repeat Chorus]
When things are gettin' crazy, And you don't know where to start, Keep on believin', baby, Just be true to your heart, When all the world around you, It seems to fall apart, Keep on believin', baby, Just be true to your heart
"Reflection (Single)"
Look at me, You may think you see who I really am, But you'll never know me, Ev'ry 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?
