just around the riverbend (demo) - alan menken lyrics

Loading...

[pocahontas, spoken]
i’ll just walk quietly into the village, go straight to my father’s house and tell him*

[woman, spoken]
there she is

[man, spoken]
pocahontas, look

(sung)
oysters for the wedding feast

[woman]
wheat and corn to make the cakes

[women]
chinquapin and succotash

[men]
venison and turtle steaks

[woman, spoken]
you must be so excited

[pocahontas, spoken]
well i*
[women]
see the colors for your dress
indigo and golden seal
purple for the love you share
yellow for the joy you feel

[woman]
pocahontas, see your cape

[girl 1]
how it sparkles

[girl 2]
yes it does

[woman]
she will be a lovely bride
just thе way her mother was

[all]
we will dancе the whole night long
when the night has finally come
singing out a wedding song (hega hega ya*hi*ye*hega)
dancing to the wedding drum

hega hega ya*hi*ye*hega
ya*hi*ye*ne*he hega
[kocoum, spoken]
pocahontas

[pocahontas, spoken]
kocoum, i was just*

[kocoum, spoken]
come with me
look, our home
i’ve finished it

[pocahontas, spoken]
such st*rdy walls

[kocoum]
in this house i’ll keep you safe
here i can protect you from
any danger that may lurk
any stranger that may come

[all]
see our eyes are filled with tears
as she smiles at kocoum
oh how happy she will be (hega hega ya*hi*ye*hega)
dancing to the wedding drum
[instrumental break]

[chief powhatan]
as the river cuts his path
though the river’s proud and strong
he will chose the smoothest course
that’s why rivers live so long
they’re steady as the steady beating drum

[pocahontas]
i must hear my father’s words
like the river i’ll be calm
steady as the beating drum
steady as the beating drum

what i love most about rivers is
you can’t step in the same river twice
the water’s always changing, always flowing
but people, i guess, can’t live like that
we all must pay a price
to be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing
what’s around the riverbend
waiting just around the riverbend

i look once more, just around the river bend
beyond the shore, where the gulls fly free
don’t know what for
what i dream the day might send
just around the river bend for me
coming for me

i don’t know why i’m drifting here
past willow trees and waterfalls
i should go home and join the celebrating
have a handsome st*rdy husband
who builds handsome st*rdy walls
and forget my foolish dream that something’s waiting
just around the river bend
just around the river bend

i look once more, just around the river bend
beyond the shore, somewhere past the sea
don’t know what for
why do all my dreams extend
just around the river bend?
just around the river bend

should i choose the smoothest course
steady as the beating drum?
should i marry kocoum?
is all my dreaming at an end?
or do you still wait for me, dream giver
just around the river bend?
