Where the crowds will cheer,

When they see my face

To feel like I belong..
I know this will be lost in the comments, but I still want to get my feelings down.. a long time ago, when I was 7-8 years old, when I knew nothing about how the world worked and I didn’t have a job, My mother would sing this all the time, sometimes in the kitchen, sometimes in the living room, or even as a lullaby. Not knowing what the lyrics meant or the meaning of the song, I still would listen. When I would cry or when I was sad she would sing this, or when she was just straight up bored. Now I’m 19 and living on my own while not knowing what I want in life, I’ve recently been clinically diagnosed with depression and anxiety and it was getting to a point where I was beginning to feel suicidal. And now, in the dead of midnight, after all these years, I come across this song, and it reminded me of the time when my mother would sing this to me and I couldn’t help but cry. I now understand what the song means and why she would sing it. She wanted me to be strong, but not only that, she wanted me to thrive, not give up. I can’t believe it took me this long to find the meaning in this song, for it will forever be a remembrance of my mother and her sweet lullaby. I know now not to give up, and not just survive, but flourish. I want my mom to be proud and show her that I can make it. I’ll one day see you again, just give me time, and it’ll be me that sings this song. And if you’re reading this, I love you with all my heart. ❤️
I associate this with Moana’s “How Far I’ll Go” since both are people going on a journey of finding themselves and dreams
I used to hate this movie as a kid bc of all the historical/mythological inaccuracies, now I have tears in my eyes after 3 minutes of it.
Years later I finally relise WHY I cried at this when I was a kid. Why it gave me such chills, why it felt so… Right. This movie is a masterpiece.
