Baking and Disney

When I bake, I like to listen to music. And my favorite music to listen to would have to be Disney, but John Denver is definitely my second favorite;) Anyway, I was making apple bread today--recipe coming soon on Picture This--and I decided that I wanted to do a series of Disney posts. This one will be songs, then there will be the princesses and their voices and then some more songs:) I hope you enjoy!

                                                        Colors of the Wind
                
                                                     You think I'm an ignorant savage,
                                        And you've been so many places, I guess it must be so,
                                            But still I cannot see, if the savage one is me
                                  How can there be so much that you don't know? You don't know........
  
                                        You think you own whatever land you land on,
                                          The earth is just a dead thing you can claim;
                                        But I know every rock and tree and creature,
                                              Has a life, has a spirit, has a name.

                                           You think the only people who are people,
                                            Are the people who look and think like you;
                                          But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger,
                                         You find things you never knew you never knew

                                  Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon,
                                       Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned;
                                           Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain,
                                          Can you paint with all the colors of the wind,
                                          Can you paint with all the colors of the wind.

                                      Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest,
                                        Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth;
                                      Come roll in all the riches all around you,
                                       And for once, never wonder what they're worth.

                                    The rainstorm and the river are my brothers,
                                      The heron and the otter are my friends;
                                      And we are all connected to each other,
                                          In a circle, in a hoop that never ends.

                                           How high will a sycamore grow,
                                       If you cut it down, then you'll never know;
                              And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon,
                                    For whether we are white or copper skinned,
                                    We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain,
                                  We need to paint with all the colors of the wind,

                                            You can own the Earth, and still,
                                                All you own is Earth until,
                                         You can paint with all the colors, of the wind
                                                       Colors of the Wind

                                                  When will My Life begin

                                           Seven AM, the usual morning lineup
                                    Start on the chores and sweep 'till the floors all clean
                                    Polish and wax, do laundry and mop and shine up
                                     Sweep again and by then, it's like seven-fifteen
                                     
                                     And so I'll read a book, or maybe two or three
                                         I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery
                                    I'll play guitar and knit, and cook and basically
                                          Just wonder when will my life begin

                                     Then after lunch it's puzzles and darts and baking
                                          Paper mache, a bit of ballet and chess
                                        Pottery and ventriloquy, candle making
                               Then I'll stretch, maybe sketch, take a climb, sew a dress!

                                     And I'll reread the books, if I have time to spare
                              I'll paint the walls some more, I'm sure there's room somewhere
                               And then I'll brush and brush, and brush and brush my hair
                                    Stuck in the same place I've always been

                                     And I'll keep wondering, and wondering
                                       And wondering and wondering
                                         When will my life begin?

                                         Tomorrow night, the lights will appear
                                   Just like they do on my birthday, each year
                                      What is it like, out there where they glow
                                  Now that I'm older, Mother might just, let me go
                                                 When will My Life Begin

                                                   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 ever met, but you can bet, before we're through
                                           Mister, I'll make a man, out of you

                                         Tranquil as a forest, but a fire, within
                                Once you find your center, you are sure, to win
                                        You're a spineless pail, 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 guys got 'em scared to death; hope he doesn't see right through me
                                       Now I really wish that I knew how to swim!

                                       Be a man; you must be swift as a 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
                                          Head 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?

                                         Be a man; you must be swift as a 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

                                     Be a man; you must be swift as a 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
                                                I'll Make a Man out of You

                                                     Tale As Old As Time

                                          Tale as old as time, tune as old as song
                                       Barely even friends, then somebody bends,
                                                          Unexpectedly

                                           Just a little change, small to say the least
                                          Both a little scared, neither one prepared
                                                      Beauty and the Beast

                                             Ever just the same, ever a surprise
                                               Ever as before, ever just as sure
                                                       As the sun will rise
                                            
                                          Tale as old as time, tune as old as song
                                    Bittersweet and strange, finding you can change
                                                Learning you were wrong

                                           Certain as the Sun, rising in the East
                                       Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme
                                                  Beauty and the Beast
                                      Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme
                                                 Beauty and the Beast
                                               Tale As Old As Time

                                               Once Upon a December--one of my favorites
                        
                                         Dancing bears, painted wings
                                           Things I almost remember
                                          And a song, someone sings
                                           Once upon a December

                                      Someone holds me safe and warm
                                      Horses prance through a silver storm
                                          Figures dancing gracefully
                                            Across my memory

                                           (Sing ahhh with the melody)

                                        Someone holds me safe and warm
                                       Horses prance through a silver storm
                                              Figures dancing gracefully
                                          Across my memory

                                       Far away, long ago
                                  Glowing dim as an ember
                                   Things my heart used to know
                                  Once upon a December

                                    Someone holds me safe and warm
                                         Horses prance through a silver storm
                                      Figures dancing gracefully
                                       Across my memory

                                        Far away, long ago
                                       Glowing dim as an ember
                                        Things my heart used to know
                                      Things it yearns to remember

                                        And a song someone sings
                                         Once upon a December
                                           Once Upon a December

Oh! I haven't seen the movie "Pocahontas" before. Is it good? Or worth watching? :)
I love to listen to music too while I bake! But even better, I love listening to audio books even more! :D
Great post, Emma!
