Stephanie Beatriz What Else Can I Do

This song features Mirabel and her sister Isabela, whose magical power is summoning flowers and plants and overall being graceful (which leads Mirabel and other family members to consider her “effortlessly perfect”). In the song, Isabela realizes that even though she’s been trying to be as perfect as she can, there are other ways she can use her powers to be creative and explore.

Lyrics

I just made something unexpected
Something sharp, something new
It’s not symmetrical or perfect
But it’s beautiful and it’s mine
What else can I do?
Bring it in, bring it in
Good talk, bring it in, bring it in (what else can I do?)
Let’s walk, bring it in, bring it in
Free hugs, bring it in, bring it in
I grow rows and rows of roses
Flor de mayo, by the mile
I make perfect, practiced poses
So much hides behind my smile
What could I do if I just grew what I was feelin’ in the moment?
(Do you know where you’re going? Whoa)
What could I do if I just knew it didn’t need to be perfect?
It just needed to be? And they’d let me be?
A hurricane of jacarandas
Strangling figs (big), hanging vines (this is fine)
Palma de cera fills the air as I climb
And I push through
What else can I do?
Can I deliver us a river of sundew?
Careful, it’s carnivorous, a little just won’t do
I wanna feel the shiver of something new
I’m so sick of pretty, I want something true, don’t you?
You just seem like your life’s been a dream (whoa)
Since the moment you opened your eyes
(How far do these roots go down?)
All I know are the blossoms you grow (whoa)
But it’s awesome to see how you rise
How far can I rise?
Through the roof, to the skies
Let’s go
A hurricane of jacarandas (woo)
Strangling figs (go), hanging vines (grow)
Palma de cera fills the air as I climb
And I push through
What else, what else?
What can you do when you are deeply, madly, truly in the moment?
(Seize the moment, keep goin’)
What can you do when you know who you wanna be is imperfect?
But I’ll still be okay
Hey, everybody clear the way, woo
I’m comin’ through with tabebuia (she’s comin’ through with that boo-yeah)
Making waves (making waves), changing minds (you’ve changed mine)
The way is clearer ’cause you’re here, and well
I owe this all to you
What else can I do?
(Show ’em what you can do)
What else can I do?
(There’s nothing you can’t do)
What else can I do?
