Once there was a little seed
Trapped beneath the ground
Couldn’t see a single thing
Couldn’t hear a sound
But something deep inside of it
Reached up toward the light
Knew there would be something good
Something real and right…

A whole new world
a whole new day
take my hand
We’ll live a brighter way

Then right next to this little seed
There came up lots of sprouts
Green and growing everywhere
To let the wonder out
What once had looked like empty soil
Became a field of dreams
If you’ve ever watched how love transforms
Then you’ll know what I mean

A whole new world
a whole new day
take my hand
We’ll live a brighter way

So this is what I’m telling you
Is happening today
Hands are reaching upward now
To welcome whole new ways
Joy and peace can blossom
Where there was sorrow and despair
The fields are getting greener now
I think we’re almost there

A whole new world
a whole new day
take my hand
We’ll live a brighter way
