DREAM A LITTLE HARDER

This is a satirical musical number from a Disney parody... it's catchy, I <3 the tune, I <3 the lyrics, I listen to it when I do tae-bo on my own...

Though we're upset, we shouldn't fret!
We shouldn't let ourselves forget
the saying every child raised within the kingdom knows...!

You've got to
dream a little harder
when life won't go your way!
Simply dream a little harder!
Trust me when I say
that when you dream a little harder,
you're sure to follow through...

'Cause if you're good and you're attractive,
no need to be proactive,
(LINE SUNG IN CHORUS)
good things will just happen... to you!

For if you
dream a little harder,
you'll get what you desire!
Dream a little harder
when things are looking dire!
If you dream a little harder,
success is guaranteed...

If you are sure of your intention,
some magic intervention
(LINE SUNG IN CHORUS)
will give you the edge that you need!

Wish a little stronger... 

I need six eggs!

Hope a little bigger...

I want to fly!

Think a little louder...

I want to be a cat!

Whistle while you swallow
a spoonful of sugar,
and your dreams will come true upon a star!

(LINES SUNG IN CHORUS)
And if we...
dream a little harder...
our patience and our honour...



POST SCRIPTUM:

TROPES FEATURED IN THIS SONG
Crowd Song: "Dream a Little Harder"

Deconstructor Fleet: to Disney in general.

• The people hope that dreaming and being pretty will fix the kingdom's problems, while such passive ideas are just letting things get worse.

...about the unrealistic expectations and oblivious idealism of people...
Many of the songs and their purpose in the story are also based on the inspiration source, Wicked. The bubbly soprano soloist in "Dream a Little Harder" sounds a lot like Glinda in "No One Mourns the Wicked"

Family-Unfriendly Aesop: Parodied. The opening number "Dream A Little Harder" pokes fun at the family unfriendly morals offered up by some Disney animated fairy-tales:

"If you're good and you're attractive,

no need to be proactive:

good things will just happen to you!"

"If you're sure of your intention,

some magic intervention

will give you the edge that you need!"
