The story so far
Everything you need before watchingJasmine's song is not a plea. Old rules say stay in your place; she answers that the story is ending. Jafar shouts her name and orders the captain to take her away. She stops Hakim: you were a boy when your father worked the grounds, and you rose to become the most trusted soldier. Duty is not always honor. The hardest fight is defying those whose approval you crave. These men will follow you. Hakim turns, and the vizier is the one in chains.

Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageWritten in stone Ev'ry rule, ev'ry 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 Jasmine! You can't keep me quiet Won't tremble When you try it Let the storm in I cannot be broken No, I won't live unspoken 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 Hear the echo saying Though you wanna see me Tremble when you try it 'Cause I'll breathe When they try To suffocate me Don't you underestimate me
每条规矩、每个字 都刻在石头上 百年不变 绝不让步 「安分守己 只许被看见 不许出声」 好了 那个故事 到此结束 因为我 我绝不能开始崩溃 那就尽管来试试 试着封我的口 把我打压下去 茉莉！ 你没法让我闭嘴 你动手时 我也不会发抖 让风暴进来 我不会被击碎 不 我不会活得无声无息 试着把我锁进这笼子 我不会就这么躺下等死 我要带上这双残翼 看我烧过整片天空 听回声在说 哪怕你想看我在你动手时发抖 因为我还要呼吸 当他们想让我窒息 别低估我
