Wish upon a star 
Take a step enter the land 
Walk through the air 
Take my hand 
Wishmaster's will
Join him the quest for dream 
A make-believe 
Is all we ever need 
Wish upon a star 
No matter who you are 
The second star to the right 
Harbinger's gate 
Beyond the boundaries 
Blossom ballet 
In the great wide somewhere 
Wish upon a star 
Believe in will 
The realm of the king of fantasy 
The master of the tale-like lore 
The way to kingdom I adore 
Where the warrior's heart is pure 
Where the stories will come true 

A cub of the king betrayed by usurper 
A girl in the rain swearing to her father's name 
Belle the last sight for the dying gruesome 
The beauties sleeping awaiting 
Deep in a dream 
For true love's first kiss 

Bald Mountain Night 
Devilheart endures but light 
A mad aerial dance 
Chernabog's succubi 
Black Cauldron born 
Gurgi's heart forlorn 
Pig-keeper or hero 
On a quest of augury 
Maleficent's fury 
The spindle so luring 
Dragon fight, dying night 
Dooming might 
Apprentice of Yen Sid 
Conducting the galaxy 
Dreamer on mountaintop 
Spellbound masquerade 
The Sailor an idol for the six-year-old in me 
The Phoenix of White Agony Creek 
Enchantress, A mermaid in a tale as old as time 
A Dragonslayer, The Awakener 
Wish upon a star
