Step by Step Lyrics by Alan Menken, Rachel Zegler, John Lithgow, Jenifer Lewis

Spellbound (Soundtrack from the Netflix Film by Skydance Animation)

2024

[MINISTER NAZARA]
As you know, our status quo is quite unbearable
Half the castle's unrepairable
We're in total disarray
[MINISTER BOLINAR]
Where we've had such charm and style and grace and elegance
Now we're babysitting elephants
[MINISTER NAZARA]
It's completely not okay
Don't you wish that we could gussy up the place again?
[MINISTER BOLINAR]
Dress in satin silk and lace again
[MINISTER NAZARA]
Like we did when times were good
Just imagine entertaining VIPs again
[MINISTER BOLINAR]
Drinking wine and eating cheese again
[MINISTER NAZARA]
Well, what if wе really could?
[MINISTER BOLINAR]
Ha, it's never gonna happеn
[MINISTER NAZARA]
It can
[MINISTER BOLINAR]
It won't
[MINISTER NAZARA]
It will
We now have a chance to get back in the dance
But we can't just sit still
We need to step
Step in a new direction
Step towards a new perfection
Step after step until all our problems are gone
And step by step
If we keep stepping forward
Step without looking backward
Then we can all move on
[MINISTER BOLINAR, spoken]
But wait, what are you proposing?
[MINISTER NAZARA]
Lucky us, tonight the princess comes of age at last
Meaning we can set the stage at last
For a brand new queen to reign
[MINISTER BOLINAR, spoken]
That's good
[MINISTER NAZARA]
And when she has put the palace once again at ease
[MINISTER BOLINAR, spoken]
We bring back the old amenities?
[MINISTER BOLINA & MINISTER NAZARA]
And we'll toast them with champagne
[MINISTER BOLINAR, spoken]
I like it
[MINISTER NAZARA, spoken]
Please, you'll love it
[MINISTER BOLINAR]
You're right, I think I do
[MINISTER BOLINA & MINISTER NAZARA]
With style and with craft we'll have choreographed a benevolent coup
[MINISTER BOLINAR & MINISTER NAZARA, MINISTER BOLINA, MINISTER NAZARA]
Let's take that step
Step in the new direction
Call it a cross correct
Step after step
Until we can pass the baton
And step by step
As we keep stepping upward
No one will think it's awkward
When we have passed the wall
[MINISTER NAZARA]
Step one, ease the royals aside
[MINISTER BOLINAR]
Step two, we announce that they've died
[MINISTER NAZARA]
Step three, once the teardrops have dried
[MINISTER BOLINAR]
The popular daughter steps in
[MINISTER NAZARA, MINISTER BOLINAR, MINISTER NAZARA & MINISTER BOLINA]
Next step, give the princess a crown
Next step, and a fabulous gown
Next step, watch the girl take the town
So easy
A breeze
If the princess agrees
Then the dance will begin
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[ELLIAN]
The after part won't matter, the spell will be unbound
[MINISTER BOLINAR]
If not?
[ELLIAN]
But it will
[MINISTER NAZARA]
Yes, whatever
[MINISTER BOLINAR]
But still
[MINISTER BOLINAR & MINISTER NAZARA]
You'll agree to be crowned
[ELLIAN]
Yes, it's time to step
[MINISTER NAZARA]
Step in a new direction
[ELLIAN]
Back towards a reconnection
[ELLIAN, MINISTER NAZARA, & MINISTER BOLINAR]
Step after step
And then all our problems'll be gone
Step by step
[ELLIAN]
After the celebration
[MINISTER NAZARA & MINISTER BOLINAR]
After the coronation
[ELLIAN]
Then we can all rule on
[MINISTER NAZARA & MINISTER BOLINAR]
Then we'll all move on
[ELLIAN, MINISTER NAZARA, & MINISTER BOLINAR]
Then we'll at last move on
