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 pale
How could any fellow say "No sale"
You'll bring honor to us all

(spoken) There -- you're ready

(spoken) Not yet

(spoken) An apple for serenity...
A pendant for balance...

(sung) Beads of jade for beauty
You must proudly show it
Now add a cricket just for luck
And even you can't blow it

MULAN

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

PROSPECTIVE BRIDES

Scarier than the undertaker
We are meeting our matchmaker

MOTHERS

Destiny
Guard our girls
And our future as it fast unfurls
Please look kindly on these cultured pearls
Each a perfect porcelain doll

ALL

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

MULAN

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 by 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

CHIANG

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

SOLDIER ONE

I'm never gonna catch my breath

SOLDIER TWO

Say goodbye to those who knew me

SOLDIER THREE

Boy, was I a fool in school for cutting gym.

SOLDIER FOUR

This guy's got 'em scared to death

MULAN

Hope he doesn't see right through me

SOLDIER FIVE

Now I really wish that I knew how to swim.

CHORUS

Be a man

CHIANG

We must be swift as the coursing river

CHORUS

Be a man

CHIANG

With all the force of a great typhoon

CHORUS

Be a man

CHIANG

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 word 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?


CHORUS

Be a man

CHIANG

We must be swift as the coursing river

CHORUS

Be a man

CHIANG

With all the force of a great typhoon

CHORUS

Be a man

CHIANG

With all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon

CHORUS

Be a man

CHIANG

We must be swift as the coursing river

CHORUS

Be a man

CHIANG

With all the force of a great typhoon

CHORUS

Be a man

CHIANG

With all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon



                                 A GIRL WORTH FIGHTING FOR

SOLDIERS

For a long time we've been marching off to battle
In our thund'ring herd we  feel a long like cattle
Like the pounding beat, our aching feet aren't easy to ignore

SOLDIER ONE

Hey, think of instead a girl worth fighting for

MULAN

(spoken) Huh?

SOLDIER ONE

That's what I said: a girl worth fighting for.

I want her paler than the moon, with eyes that shine like stars

SOLDIER TWO

My girl will marvel at my strength, adore my battle scars

SOLDIER THREE

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...
Mmmm...

SOLDIER TWO

Bet the local girls thought you were quite the charmer

SOLDIER ONE

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

SOLDIERS

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

SOLDIER TWO

My girl will think I have no faults

SOLDIER THREE

That I'm a major find

MULAN

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

SOLDIERS

(spoken) Nah!

SOLDIER ONE

My manly ways and turn of phrase are sure to thrill her

SOLDIER TWO

He thinks he's such a lady-killer

MAN IN CHARGE

I've a girl back home who's unlike any other

SOLDIER TWO

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

SOLDIERS

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 (SINGLE)

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 gonna lead you straight to me
(Go to be true to your heart)

Someone ya 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 your heart
And you'll see the light

(Chorus)

(Ya know it's true)
Your heart knows what's good for you
(Good for you)
Let your heart show you the way
(Ya 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 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
(Ad lib)



                                  REFLECTION (POP VERSION)

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?
