\nWe’ve been watching A LOT of\u00a0 Disney’s Princess and The Frog<\/em> lately and the whole family has a string of favorite musical numbers and we all get up and dance and sing along whenever they come on.<\/p>\n

One of our favorites is Dig a Little Deeper<\/em> by Mama Odie (voiced by Jenifer Lewis). Mama Odie is a 197-year-old spunky voodoo lady who lives in an old boat in a tree deep in the Bayou. When Tiana and Prince Naveen seek her out to turn them human again, Mama Odie tries to teach them an important lesson that what they wanted was not the same as what they needed. When the message doesn’t quite sink in, she breaks into her musical number.<\/p>\n

Here’s the official Disney sing-a-long version:<\/p>\n

So did you enjoy it? Mama Odie teaches a very important lesson that we all have the ability inside of us to be, have, and do whatever we desire so long as it is congruent with what we need. When we are aligned with who we truly are and what we need, things flow effortlessly. But when we are out of alignment, that’s when things are tough. I know from experience that when I’ve tried to force a thing it is never a simple process. But when I just say yes<\/a> to what is for my highest and greatest good, even if it doesn’t look like what my ego self wants, I am always blown away by how effortless things fall into place.<\/p>\n

So when you are faced with challenges be they big or small, reach inside and ask yourself is this current situation based on a want or a need. If it’s based on a want, dig a little deeper and ask yourself what you truly need to bring peace to the situation. At first blush the answer that comes may not look like what you thought you wanted, but in the end if it is best for you you’ll find without a doubt that it is exactly what you needed!<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoyed one of our current family favs. Let me know your thoughts and if it moves you, please pass along to your friends.\u00a0 Take care!<\/p>\n

Below are the lyrics and coming up is a link to the video of this scene. I apologize that I'm not able to place the video in the post but the best clips I found on YouTube all disabled the embedding feature so all I can give ya is the link. Still worth hopping over to a new window to see.\u00a0 Check it out<\/a> here\u00a0 and then come back and tell me whatchathink...<\/p>

Mama Odie:<\/strong> Don't matter what you look like
Don't matter what you wear
How many rings you got on your finger
We don't care
Choir:<\/strong> (No we don't care)<\/p>

Don't matter where you come from
Don't even matter what you are
A dog, a pig, a cow, a goat
Had 'em all in here (we had 'em all in here)<\/p>

And they all knew what they wanted
What they wanted me to do
I told 'em what they needed
Just like I be telling you<\/p>

You got to dig a little deeper
Find out who you are
You got to dig a little deeper
It really ain't that far<\/p>

When you find out who you are
You'll find out what you need
Blue skies and sunshine guaranteed
You got to dig (dig)
You got to dig (dig)<\/p>

Prince Froggy is a rich little boy
You wanna be rich again
That ain't gonna make you happy now
Did it make you happy then? No!
Money ain't got no soul
Money ain't got no heart
All you need is some self-control
Make yourself a brand new start<\/p>

You got to dig a little deeper
Don't have far to go
You got to dig a little deeper
Tell the people Mama told you so<\/p>

Can't tell you what you'll find
Maybe love will grant you peace of mind
Dig a little deeper and you'll know<\/p>

Miss Froggy, might I have a word?
You's a hard one, that's what I heard
Your daddy was a loving man
Family through and through
You your daddy's daughter
What he had in him you got in you<\/p>

You got to dig a little deeper
For you it's gonna be tough
You got to dig a little deeper
You ain't dug near far enough<\/p>

Dig down deep inside yourself
You'll find out what you need
Blue skies and sunshine guaranteed
Open up the windows
Let in the light children
(Blue skies and sunshine)
(Blue skies and sunshine)<\/p>

Tiana: <\/strong>Blue skies and sunshine
Mama Odie:<\/strong> Guaranteed
Choir: <\/strong>(Ahhh...)<\/p>
