WATCH: Naomi Scott’s Speechless Music Video

There’s a new princess power ballad in town and it’s Naomi Scott’s “Speechless.” This is the first song from the Aladdin soundtrack to get the music video treatment. “Speechless” was written by Alan Menken, Benj Pasek, and Justin Paul. The song is a huge look at how they’ve updated Jasmine’s character for this movie.

THE LYRICS

Here comes a wave meant to wash me away 

A tide that is takin’ me under

Swallowing sand, left with nothing to say

My voice drowned out in the thunder

But I won’t cry

And I won’t start to crumble

Whenever they try

To shut me or cut me down

 

I won’t be silenced 

You can’t keep me quiet 

Won’t tremble and you try it 

All I know is I won’t go speechless 

Cause I’ll breathe 

When they try to suffocate me 

Don’t you underestimate me 

Cause I know that I won’t go speechless 

 

Written in stone every rule, every word 

Centuries old and unbending 

“Stay in your place, better seen and not heard”

Well, now that story is ending 

Cause I 

I cannot start to crumble 

So come on and try 

Try to shut me and cut me down 

 

I won’t be silenced 

You can’t keep me quiet 

Won’t tremble and when you try it 

All I know is I won’t go speechless 

Speechless! 

Let the storm in 

I cannot be broken 

No, I won’t live unspoken 

‘Cause I know I that I won’t go speechless 

 

Try to lock me in this cage 

I won’t just lay me down and die

I will take these broken wings 

And watch me burn across the sky 

Here the echo saying 

“I won’t be silenced” 

Though you wanna see me 

Tremble when you try it 

All I know is I won’t go speechless 

Speechless! 

 

Cause I’ll breathe 

When they try to suffocate me 

Don’t you underestimate me

Cause I know that I won’t go speechless 

All I know is I won’t go speechless 

Speechless!
