I can show you the world

Shining, shimmering splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes

Take you wonder by wonder
Over sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world

A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world

A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you

Now I'm in a whole new world with you

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world (Don't you dare close your eyes)

A hundred thousand things to see (Hold your breath, it gets better)
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be

A whole new world (Every turn a surprise)

With new horizons to pursue (Every moment, red-letter)
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you

A whole new world (A whole new world)

That's where we'll be (That's where we'll be)
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me

 Discussion
A sentence is a group of words that has a complete thought and is properly punctuated. It has
two main parts: a subject and a predicate.

The subject is the topic or the one being talked about in the sentence. Usually, the subject is either
a noun or a pronoun. The predicate, on the other hand, tells something about the subject. The
important element of the predicate is the verb.

Examples:

The competing vice-presidential candidates did their best to gather as many votes as they could.

The oldest candidate won the presidential race by approximately seven million votes.

He continued to run for president despite the allegations thrown at him.

A candidate for a government position wins when the majority votes for him/her.

If the group of words lacks a subject or a predicate or if the thought is incomplete but is
punctuated as if it were a sentence, it is called a fragment. This is an error that needs to be
avoided in formal writing.

Examples:

The competing vice-presidential candidates (missing verb)

Won the presidential race by approximately seven million votes (missing subject)

Despite the allegations thrown at him (missing subject and a verb)

If the majority votes for him/her (dependent clause)
