I’ve Got a Dream song lyrics from Tangled

A very good and inspiring, yet light veined song that I just came across. This song is from the movie Tangled. Thought to share it right away. Its about a dream that I have, live everyone else.

Background:

It occurs early in the movie when Rapunzel, the protagonist, encounters a group of ruffians in a tavern called the Snuggly Duckling. The song serves as an introduction to the quirky characters she meets there and their unconventional dreams.

About movie:

“Tangled” is a 2010 animated musical film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. It’s a reimagining of the classic fairy tale “Rapunzel” by the Brothers Grimm. The movie tells the story of a young princess named Rapunzel who is stolen from her parents, the King and Queen, as a baby and locked away in a tower by a vain and manipulative woman named Mother Gothel. Rapunzel, unaware of her true identity, possesses magical long hair that has the power to heal injuries and reverse aging when she sings a special song.

Sometimes, its good to tell the serious ones in a smooth way. I got a dream.

 

Here are the lyrics to “I’ve Got a Dream”:

I’m malicious, mean and scary
My sneer could curdle dairy
And violence-wise my hands are not the cleanest
But despite my evil look and my temper and my hook
I’ve always yearned to be a concert pianist

Can’t you see me on the stage performing Mozart
Tickling the ivories till they gleam
Yep, I’d rather be called deadly for my killer show-tune medley
Cuz way down deep inside I’ve got a dream

He’s got a dream
He’s got a dream
See, I ain’t as cruel and vicious as I seem
Though I do like breaking femurs, you can count me with the dreamers
Like everybody else, I’ve got a dream

I’ve got scars and lumps and bruises
Plus something here that oozes
And let’s not even mention my complexion
But despite my extra toes
And my goiter
And my nose
I really want to make a love connection

Can’t you see me with a special little lady
Rowing in a rowboat down a stream
Though I’m one disgusting blighter
I’m a lover, not a fighter
Cuz way down deep inside I’ve got a dream

I’ve got a dream
He’s got a dream
I’ve got a dream
He’s got a dream
And I know one day romance will reign supreme
Though my face leaves people screaming
There’s a child behind it dreaming
Like everybody else, I’ve got a dream

Toll would like to quit and be a florist
Gunter does interior design
Urf is into mime
Attila’s cupcakes are sublime
Bruiser knits
Killer sews
Ven does little puppet shows
And Vladimir collects ceramic unicorns

I have dreams like you, no really
Just much less touchy-feely
They mainly happen somewhere warm and sunny
On an island that I own
Tan and rested and alone
Surrounded by enormous piles of money

I’ve got a dream
She’s got a dream
I’ve got a dream
She’s got a dream
I just want to see the floating lanterns gleam
And with every passing hour
I’m so glad I left my tower
Like all you lovely folks, I’ve got a dream

She’s got a dream
She’s got a dream
They got a dream
We’ve got a dream
So our differences ain’t really that extreme
We’re one big team

Call us brutal
Sick
Sadistic
And grotesquely optimistic
Cuz way down deep inside we’ve got a dream
I’ve got a dream
I’ve got a dream
I’ve got a dream
I’ve got a dream
I’ve got a dream
I’ve got a dream
Yes, way down deep inside, I’ve got a dream
Yeah!
