What Else Can I Do
(from “Encanto” soundtrack)
[Isabela:]
I just made something unexpected
Something sharp, something new
It’s not symmetrical or perfect
But it’s beautiful, and it’s mine
What else can I do?
[Mirabel {Isabela}:]
Bring it in, bring it in
(Good talk) Bring it in, bring it in {What else can I do?}
(Let’s walk) Bring it in, bring it in
(Free hugs) Bring it in, bring it in
[Isabela:]
I grow rows and rows of roses
Flor de mayo, by the mile
I make perfect, practiced poses
So much hides behind my smile
What could I do if I just grew what I was feeling in the moment?
(Do you know where you’re going? Whoa!)
What could I do if I just knew it didn’t need to be perfect?
It just needed to be? And they’d let me be?
[Isabela (Mirabel):]
A hurricane of jacarandas
Strangling figs (Big)
Hanging vines (This is fine)
Palma de cera fills the air as I climb
And I push through
What else can I do?
[Isabela:]
Can I deliver us a river of sundew?
Careful, it’s carnivorous, a little just won’t do
I wanna feel the shiver of something new
I’m so sick of pretty, I want something true, don’t you?
[Mirabel (Isabela):]
You just seem like your life’s been a dream (Whoa)
Since the moment you opened your eyes
(How far do these roots go down?)
All I know are the blossoms you grow (Whoa)
But it’s awesome to see how you rise
[Mirabel & Isabela:]
How far can I rise? Through the roof, to the skies, let’s go!
[Isabela (Mirabel):]
A hurricane of jacarandas (Whoo!)
Strangling figs (Go!)
Hanging vines (Grow!)
Palma de cera fills the air as I climb
And I push through
(What else, what else?)
[Isabela & Mirabel:]
What can you do when you are deeply, madly, truly in the moment?
[Mirabel:]
Seize the moment, keep goin’
[Isabela & Mirabel:]
What can you do when you know who you wanna be isn’t perfect?
[Isabela (Mirabel):]
But I’ll still be okay (Hey, everybody clear the way, whoo!)
[Isabela (Mirabel):]
I’m coming through with tabebuia (She’s coming through with that booyah!)
Making waves (Making waves)
Changing minds (You’ve changed mine)
The way is clearer ’cause you’re here, and well
I owe this all to you
What else can I do? (Show ’em what you can do)
What else can I do? (There’s nothing you can’t do)
What else can I do?
