Pocahontas Page #2

from the rising of the sun

until the evening shadows fell.

Our warriors fought with courage,

but none as bravely as Kocoum,

for he attacked with

the fierce strength of the bear.

- He has proven himself to be...

- He is so handsome!

I especially love the smile.

[man continues] ...destroying every

enemy in his path.

Tonight, we will feast in his honor.

[cheering, whooping]

- My daughter.

- Winggapo, Father.

Seeing you gives me great joy.

I'm so glad you've come home safely.

Come with me.

We have much to talk about.

I want to hear everything

you've been doing.

[purring, buzzing]

Father, for many nights now,

I've been having a very strange dream.

It's telling me something's

about to happen, something exciting.

Yes. Something exciting

is about to happen.

- [purring]

- Really? What is it?

Kocoum has asked to seek

your hand in marriage.

Marry Kocoum?

- [chirping]

- [gagging]

I told him it would make my heart soar.

But he's so... serious.

My daughter,

Kocoum will make a fine husband.

He is loyal and strong and will build

you a good house with sturdy walls.

With him,

you will be safe from harm.

Father, I think my dream is

pointing me down another path.

This is the right path for you.

But why can't I choose...

- [gasping]

- [growling]

[cuckoo sound]

- [growling]

- [laughing]

Pocahontas, come with me.

You are the daughter of the chief.

It is time to take

your place among our people.

Even the wild mountain stream

must someday join the big river.

As the river cuts his path

Though the river's proud and strong

He will choose the smoothest course

That's why rivers live so long.

They're steady

As the steady beating drum

Your mother wore this for our wedding.

It was her dream to see you

wear it at your own.

It suits you.

[purring]

He wants me to be steady.

Like the river.

[shrieking, squeaking]

[chuckling] But it's not steady at all.

[squeaking]

What I love most about rivers is

You can't step in the same river twice

The water's always changing

Always flowing

But people, I guess

can't live like that

We all must pay a price

To be safe we lose our chance

of ever knowing

What's around the river bend

Waiting just around the river bend

I look once more

Just around the river bend

Beyond the shore

Where the gulls y free

Don't know what for

What I dream the day might send

Just around the river bend

[squeaking]

For me

Coming for me

I feel it there beyond those trees

Or right behind these waterfalls

Can I ignore that sound

of distant drumming?

For a handsome, sturdy husband

who builds handsome, sturdy walls

And never dreams that

something might be coming

Just around the river bend
